Hip Hop was born in the heart of Bronx, NY on August 11, 1973.
From NYC to the World
What started as an underground party in The Bronx has exploded into one of the most influential cultural movements in human history.
From James Brown to The Meters, DJs “cooked the classics.” Years passed and innovations were implemented. That changed the way we view turntables forever.
Hip hop culture has spread to both urban and suburban communities throughout the United States and subsequently the world.
In 2023 the City of New York, the Office of the Mayor, and the The Hip Hop Museum are united to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop
The Hip Hop Museum will be a 50,000 + sq. ft. cultural institution dedicated to the preservation, education, and amplification of global Hip Hop history.
