Fodor's Expert Review Barbershop Harmony Society Museum
Downtown
Giving sightseers and music historians a break from the city's extensive country music history, the Barbershop Harmony Society works to promote and preserve the history of another kind of American musical art, the barbershop quartet, which has ties to both African American improvisation and European harmony traditions. A quick stop compared to the other music museums in the area, the best feature is the front atrium, which was engineered with a dome that provides perfect acoustics for quartets to practice.
