American Jazz Museum

The American Jazz Museum in Kansas City's historic 18th & Vine district honors the city's foundational role in the development of jazz and blues, showcasing the instruments, recordings, and stories of jazz legends including Charlie Parker, Count Basie, and Louis Armstrong. The museum's interactive exhibits and listening booths bring the music to life, while the adjacent Blue Room jazz club offers live performances that continue the tradition on weekends. The museum sits in the heart of the district that was the epicenter of Kansas City jazz in the 1920s and 30s.
