American Jazz Museum, Kansas City, Missouri

One of the few museums devoted to American jazz music lies in the Historic 18th and Vine district in Kansas City, Missouri. It shares the same building as the Negro League Baseball Museum. The Jazz Museum has lots of history on jazz legends including Louis Satchmo Armstrong and KC's own Charlie Parker. The museum, which opened in 1997 (celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2022) is a Smithsonian affiliate.

I highly recommend visiting both, as you can get the combo price for admission. Besides what I showed you in the video, there are lots to see. Also part of the museum is the Blue Room club, which was designed to look retro and still has performances.
