Leather jackets, a Trabant car and a kitchen table are on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio. They're just some of the artifacts of rock history in the museum just turning fifteen.
Visitors can see those artifacts, as well as guitars, handwritten lyrics and loads of other rock 'n' roll gems at this one-of-a-kind museum designed by star architect I.M. Pei and located on the shores of Lake Erie. Music This Week pays tribute to the institution that honors rock greats.
