I disagree with Eytan that it's a big rip off. 

Sure, there are some questionable items on display (Britney's jumpsuit
included), but there are far more interesting and deserving pieces included
that are worth seeing.

I used to date a girl who's family lived in Cleveland.  They got me a
membership the first two years it was open, so I spent a lot of time there
(which was MUCH better than spending with her and her family!). Haven't been
back in about 5 years, so I'm not sure what's on display nowadays.

But I loved seeing the old punk (Ramones, Sex Pistols) memorabilia.  Lots of
cool old Who stuff too. But my favorite (morbid as it may seem) is the
section of Otis Redding's plane that was recovered. I'm a huge Otis fan, so
to see that is very special to me.

I know that they rotate memorabilia and display items on a regular basis, so
there's always something there new to see.

The Rock Hall in Cleveland is a big waste and an outrageous rip-off ($15, I 
think). No, $15 didn't impoverish me, but when you think of all the great 
museums with timeless treasures you can go to for much less, $15 for a 
chance to see Britney Spears' jumpsuit doesn't seem like a fair bargain.  
The introductory films they show were simplistic and silly. And there 
doesn't seem to be a coherent sense of what Rock and Roll even is...Britney 
Spears?
