The pop-up museum will run now through May 22, from 12 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, inside the American Plus Bank at the corner of Long Beach Boulevard and Ocean Boulevard in Downtown Long Beach, directly across from the Terrace Theater and The Breakers.<\/p>\n

A special community reception will take place on May 22 from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., where guests can connect with museum supporters, local music advocates, and learn more about plans for the museum\u2019s future permanent home.<\/p>\n

The reception held on May 15 welcomed notable Southern California music figures including Bernie Pearl, known as the \u201cDean of Los Angeles Blues,\u201d and Kelvin Anderson, regarded as the \u201cDean of LA Rap and Hip-Hop.\u201d Their appearance reflected the museum\u2019s mission to celebrate the diverse musical legacy of Long Beach and the surrounding region.<\/p>\n

Overseen by the nonprofit Long Beach Blues Society or LBBS, the Long Beach Music Museum is dedicated to honoring influential musicians from Long Beach while supporting emerging local artists. The museum aims to preserve and celebrate the city\u2019s contributions to popular music through exhibits, educational programming, and community engagement.<\/p>\n

Currently incubating at the LBBS building in Midtown Long Beach, LBMM is working toward establishing a renovated permanent space that will expand exhibits and community programming.<\/p>\n

As a nonprofit initiative, the museum relies on community support through donations, fundraising efforts, grants, and partnerships. Community members are encouraged to visit the pop-up museum at American Plus Bank and learn how they can help support the preservation of Long Beach\u2019s musical history for future generations.<\/p>\n

The Long Beach Blues Society, the museum\u2019s primary supporter, remains committed to promoting and preserving blues music through education, live performances, and community outreach.<\/p>\n
