About This Daily Classroom Special
The Music Quest
focuses on discovering the wonders of our musical universe. Visit it for a musical question—a description and hints about a mystery composer, musician, instrument or musical excerpt.
The Music Quest was written by former Teachers Network Web Mentor Kristi Thomas, a
teacher at William F. Halley Elementary School Fairfax Station, Virginia.
Answer 13
 There
is absolutely nothing dull about the Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame and Museum! This dramatic landmark first opened its
doors in Cleveland, Ohio on Labor Day weekend, 1995.
Dedicated to rock's vital heritage, the museum is an
interactive celebration of rock and roll from its early
roots right up until today. This spectacular building is
filled with the music and memorabilia from many of rock's
greatest legends. The exhibits "bring to life the sights,
sounds, and experiences of artists, songwriters and
producers from every era." The museum had over one million
visitors during the first year.
Although a visit to the actual museum would be
fantastic, a visit to it's website at www.rockhall.com is lots of fun as well. Explore the virtual tour
of the museum, watch interactive 3D videos of the exhibits,
listen to some great music, and e-mail a postcard to a
friend. Take some time to enjoy a truly first-class website
for a fascinating music landmark.
