A new exhibit titled “Louder than Words: Rock, Power, and Politics” is on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio.

The exhibit, “features bands and artifacts – everything from instruments and sheet music to clothing – that documents American history through the tunes we rock out to. The exhibit is free all week while approximately 40 events take place at the Hall across four days during the Republican National Convention.”

According to Greg Hall, the CEO of the Hall of Fame, “At its core, some say all rock ‘n’ roll is political.  It’s asking you to think differently, maybe to push the envelope, maybe to believe in something that you don’t currently believe in.”
