The showcases in the museum on Travis Street in Atlanta's Westside display the evolution of the subgenre and its impact on the entire music industry. Overall, the Trap Music Museum is a very unique experience and unlike any other museum you’ve been to. If you’re into trap music like I am and want a deeper view of the trap life, you definitely want to check out the museum before it closes. The Gucci Mane exhibit includes a full trap kitchen with large rolls of cash, as well as “Baking Soda, pots and a sliver fork,” to display how he started his rap career in the trenches.

We're speaking to a lot of people through what we do and what we've created." Like the Pink Trap House, the museum was initially meant to be a pop-up, but visitors and those who missed out on the opportunity demanded the attraction stay put. As you continue exploring you may also be greeted by other characters, who are there to give you a better experience of what the trap life is like. The museum’s popularity has grown nationwide.

There are many recognizable songs in hip-hop history that all you have to do is hear four bars and you instantly know the song.

Being that it was a pop-up exhibit, I was unable to make it back to the states in time to pose on the pretty pink car, being I was in Europe at the time. How does it feel for you to know that you were a part of a foundation that decided this specific genre deserved recognition on such a large scale? The idea of not waiting for the moment, but creating the need for such a timepiece.

Almost a year after opening the Trap Music Museum in Atlanta, multi-platinum rapper and actor T.I. Continues to highlight the legacy of trap music. For the first time, the city’s most sought-after exhibition is being brought to Los Angeles for the next three weeks. The whole experience is a provocative, over-the-top, and a daringly honest look at this aspect of Atlanta culture that has given rise to a gritty, pulsating, and entirely new style of music.
Multi-platinum Hip-Hop icon, Tip “T.I.” Harris brought his Atlanta-based Trap Music Museum to Los Angeles with the Lil Trap House art exhibition and pop-up launch event hosted by Karen Civil. The museum's art curator, Adlia Halim, said the space preserves the legacy of the music and its impact on Atlanta's culture. "We want to educate as much as entertain," T.I.
Escape Room Hours
Before exiting, fans are reminded to bow down to the powerful women in the Hip Hop industry with Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s Throne and stare in awe at the YG and late, great Nipsey Hussle's West Coast Tribute symbolizing unity in music and gang culture in Los Angeles. Scope out gross-out artwork and attempt to flee a human trafficking ring at Trap House, a Halloween-time exhibition that's part art gallery, part escape room. Makeup artist Ian Von Cromer has assembled a lineup of over 50 sci-fi, horror and special effects sculptors. Meanwhile, designer Adam Milicevic, art director for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Japan, has created a voyeuristic escape room at the center of the gallery. A bar and lounge in the gallery space will host events throughout the run. Trap Music Museum is an interactive experience that uses art to showcase the rich culture of trap music, one of the most popular genres of music today.
In 1985, Big Top Pee-wee was filmed here and part of Short Circuit was filmed here as well. The music video for HelloGoodbye's song "Here (In Your Arms)" was also filmed there. It’s no surprise that the museum has enjoyed tremendous success, and not just because of the Westside community.

By honoring influential trap stars, the Trap Music Museum provides an added inspiration to its attendees. As you walk further into the museum, there are various exhibits that represent influential rappers such as, Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, Future, Lil Boosie and of course T.I. These artists have made a major impact in the trap music industry and this Trap House showcases them in an interactive maze with live impressionists. First, exhibitioners start in Grandma’s Living Room with guns, drugs, and money on the coffee table to ultimately symbolize protection and security to the hustlers while visiting. Viewers then step into Gucci Mane’s Lil Trap Kitchen, infamously mentioned in many of his songs with key items like scales, Pyrex measuring cups on the stove, and Atlanta fast food chain J.R. Up the wall, many viewers will get a first-look at Pusha-T Interactive Barcode with the classic My Name Is My Name album cover and opposite of this will be Migos City “The Nawf,” a scaled down model of their Atlanta neighborhood and Young Thug’s “Snake Exhibit.
We just told the story with actual facts. In 2003, Tip put out Trap Muzik, the album and that's when the genre was created. Yes, trap has been around as far as the terminology and the lingo, but it's Atlanta slang. It’s an Atlanta term that Tip coined and the phrase trap music. So we just want to make sure they were able to tell the story creatively and involve local artists and the community.
And then in the 2000s, it traveled South, amped up with heavy 808s and all things trap. During those years, southern hip-hop — more specifically trap music — was a style of rap that was often maligned and not taken seriously. Only within the last decade has trap music become a more respected genre of music. Open to the public beginning July 13, trap music fans are able to secure tickets to the pop-up exhibition through the DICE app through July 28.
