Which city opened the first permanent Grammy Museum?

The story behind the answer

Los Angeles opened the first permanent Grammy Museum.

The Grammy Museum opened in downtown Los Angeles in December 2008. It was established by the Recording Academy as an institution devoted to exploring music history, the creative process, and the cultural impact of recorded music.

Its exhibitions combine artifacts, instruments, costumes, recording technology, photographs, and interactive displays. The museum is located in the L.A. LIVE entertainment district, close to Crypto.com Arena, a venue that has hosted Grammy ceremonies.

The Grammy Museum is not the same thing as the Grammy Awards ceremony. The museum preserves and explains music history, while the annual awards recognize recordings and performances. The museum also developed educational programs and public events connected with musicians and music-making.
