🎧 Above the exhibits
The Ray Charles Terrace sits on the roof of the GRAMMY Museum at L.A. Live, a downtown Los Angeles space built around music and recording history. The open-air deck overlooks the plaza and anchors outdoor programming above the galleries.
Inside, the museum pairs memorabilia and video displays with interactive rooms, and the second floor holds booths where visitors can play instruments and record their own songs. The exhibits trace how records are written, produced, and preserved.
The terrace carries the name of Ray Charles, and the museum rates 4.4 across more than 2,700 reviews. It sits within the L.A. Live complex beside Crypto.com Arena, a short walk across downtown Los Angeles.
