The Trap Music Museum is a glimpse into "The Trap Life" experience.
I have discovered that when doing things in Atlanta it is best to go on a week day. No lines, No waits, No hassle, No fuss. So we decided to go to the TMM Escape Room on a Monday evening. There was free street parking available, no lines, and not a lot of traffic, which made it easier to enjoy the exhibits for a longer period of time. The exhibits and paintings were cool but it would have been great if there was a written explanation or video interviews of the artists and the creators of the exhibits. I think it would help to enhance the overall museum experience.
There is a jail cell that had a couple letters from and to rappers that have been incarcerated. I would have like a few more letters, in the exhibit, to give it more gravity to the experience of what it's like to be inside a jail cell, as a celebrity. There are a few more artists that could have been added to the exhibit, especially some of our fallen ATL artists like Takeoff, Trouble, Bankroll Fresh, and King Von (even though he's really from the CHI).
The museum is small but I could see this museum expanding to a much larger experience. Adding a greeter and maybe adding different sections that pay homage to the rap pioneers and even a section that pays homage to the rappers that are still highly revered today like Pac, Biggie, Snoop, Jay Z, Outkast, Nas, etc. But still the Trap Music Museum is indeed a great idea.
The Escape Room was FUN! I gotta give kudos to the two men that ran the room (their names escape me...no pun intended). They were entertaining, funny, and helpful because Lord knows I like Trap Music but don't know the words so some of the clues were waaaay over my head.
Note: If you go on weekday, in particular a Monday, there may be a taping of a podcast with some celebrities here and there. You will be asked to remain quiet so keep that in mind.
