The format will provide museum visitors, who have a smart phone, to access more information about the inductee’s history and to listen to their videos and musical concerts.

The museum is open free to the public from 10:00 am to Noon and 1:00 to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday and on weekends by appointment.  The facility can also be rented for private parties and receptions.  Photographs of the exhibits and a complete list of the inductees is available on the North Carolina Music Hall Of Fame website.
