Going to Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - any cool Hamers there?

[DarkHammer]

I am going to visit Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland for the first time in July. 

Are there any interesting Hamer artist owned guitars to see?

Outside of the Cheap Trick exhibit, not really.

That's too bad they have limited Hamers on display, still looking forward to the visit!

It is well worth the visit. I’ve been there twice and I’d go back again.

I went there once about 22 years ago, it was fun, I thought it was worth going to.  The only piece I specifically remember seeing was John Taylor's Kubicki Factor bass, probably because I had recently got one (or two...).

Just there a few weeks ago, there is a John Lennon Hamer. Only had time to see one floor. The Bon Jovi exhibit is now open, on the 6th floor.

Well worth a visit.

Cool.  That one wasn’t there last time I went.

Go in with low expectations.  Be happy when you see something cool.

2.5 more weeks, I am counting the days!!!

that's super cool!

How long did it take to see one floor? How much time should I allocate to see most of exhibits?

The family spent a couple of hours, including a bite to eat and me playing a few tunes with the jam band on the second floor. I felt like I skimmed a lot of the first floor (history of), there is so much to see. 
 

Do some online research about what they have on the other floors and set priorities. You could go several times and not take it all in.

and you can see the new extension under construction

Thread from my last visit.
I didn't take many pix the first time I went.

Many thanks to everyone!
