Berry Gordy founded Motown Records in this unassuming house in 1959, and the tiny Studio A inside is where Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, and the Jackson 5 recorded their earliest hits.

Best time to visit

Two separate windows work best: May–Jun & Sep. Pick the one that matches what you came for.

Know before you go

  • Tours are guided and timed — book online in advance, especially for weekend visits.
  • No photography is allowed inside Studio A, so take it in rather than reaching for your phone.
  • The tour ends with a singalong in the museum's re-created studio space.
