The Grammy Museum at L.A. Live debuted Golden Gods: The History of Heavy Metal on April 11th to coincide with popular awards show, The Golden Gods of Metal. Through rare artifacts from iconic metal bands and interactive experiences, the exhibit teaches visitors about the origins of heavy metal, its many subgenres, the bands that made heavy metal famous and offers a look into the controversy that has surrounded the genre for the past four decades.

The exhibit highlights never-before-displayed artifacts including instruments, stage props, handwritten lyrics and clothing/costumes featured alongside original album artwork, posters, live performance footage and interviews to give visitors a full overview of the vast history, and future, of heavy metal. In keeping with the mission of The Grammy Museum, the exhibit will also house a variety of interactive exhibits, meant to teach visitors about the elements of heavy metal music including a vocal “scream” booth, double kick drum interactive featuring a tutorial on heavy metal drumming and metal riff stations, highlighting the great guitar players of the genre.

Additional prgramming includes:

- The History of Heavy Metal classes for high school and college students
- Lecture series taught by Museum Executive Director Bob Santelli
- An Evening With – public programs featuring question and answer sessions and intimate performances with some of heavy metal’s great bands
- Panel Discussions with metal historians, artists and fans
