Cleveland Trip Highlights: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum

The centerpiece of Cleveland's North Coast Harbor is, hands down, the 150,000-square-foot Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Located in the city that served as a springboard for artists such as David Bowie and Elvis Presley, world-renowned architect I.M. Pei designed the building as a sculptural tribute to the energy of rock and roll.
