One of the few museums in the world dedicated only to soul music, the Stax Museum was established in 2003 - but its roots go back to the '50s when it was a recording studio. Stax Records closed in the '70s and the studio went through several transition periods before becoming a museum which celebrates revolutionary artists such as Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, and Aretha Franklin.
