The Hip Hop Museum is going on the road ahead of its 2025 opening. The Hip Hop Museum Tour Sponsored by CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka kicks off in the genre’s birthplace, New York City, on October 14th before traveling to Atlanta, Houston, Charlotte, Los Angeles, and Miami. In celebration of hip hop’s 50th anniversary, entertainment company Mass Appeal, and CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka, have partnered with The Hip Hop Museum to tell the story of the pioneers who created and cultivated a sound that sent waves around the world.

The free touring exhibit will feature early hip-hop artifacts from 1973-1990, highlighting important firsts along the genre’s road from block parties to sold out stadiums. Each tour stop will shine a light on the cultural and social accomplishments of a community that fought for a voice and prevailed, moving the needle on what hip-hop was and ultimately could be.

“The Hip Hop Museum is thrilled to be in partnership with Mass Appeal and to have the support from CÎROC Ultra-Premium Vodka as we celebrate Hip Hop 50. Fifty years of growth and the global impact of hip-hop culture in all its expressions. By taking the museum’s exhibition on tour, we’re shining a light on the culture’s regional creative influences, its creators, and the communities nationwide that helped give rise to the genre,” states Rocky Buccano, Executive Director of the Universal Hip Hop Museum.

Curated by hip-hop historians, Pete Nice and Paradise Gray, the exhibit focuses on the genesis of the genre, from its grassroots inception to the first worldwide tours.

Hip-hop is one of the most influential cultures the world has ever seen. In its genesis, it challenged generational thinking and disrupted everything from fashion and art to language and politics. This global phenomenon has fostered new creative expression from often overlooked and underserved communities for fifty years. It’s given voice to the silenced, and purpose to the oppressed.
