Book the GRAMMY Museum for Groups

The GRAMMY Museum is a 30,000-sf shrine to the music industry within L.A. Live–Downtown Los Angeles’ 5.6 million-sf megawatt entertainment and sports district. For evening receptions, crank the tunes and pop the bubbly while attendees scope out Chris Martin’s Sgt. Pepper-style garb from Coldplay’s Viva La Vida tour and Katy Perry’s fruit dress from her I Kissed a Girl performance at the 51st GRAMMY ceremony in 2009. Then there’s that showstopper simply known as “The Dress”—the exotic green Versace number with plunging neckline that J Lo barely wore in 2000.
