Left and below: Members channel their inner pinball wizards. PLAY TIME An up-close look at the intersection of rock and pinball

In its first month alone, the Rock Hall’s interactive exhibition Part of the Machine: Rock & Pinball attracted thousands of visitors to play its classic, rock-themed pinball machines. “This show has really exceeded our expectations,” says Karen L. Herman, Vice President of Collections and Curatorial Affairs. “Rock and pinball have a lot in common—they are loud and colorful and have been seen by some as ‘corrupters’ of our youth. So it makes sense that pinball machines would have rock-related artwork and music.” Visitors are invited to come by the Rock Hall and play pinball machines featuring images of Inductees such as KISS, Guns N’ Roses, Alice Cooper and, of course, (the legend- ary band behind Pinball Wizard is represented by a machine with artwork based on the movie Tommy). Part of the Machine will be on view through summer 2019.

ON THE ROAD AGAIN Several of the Rock Hall’s most popular exhibitions have recently been on view— or will soon be on view—at locations across the country

LOUDER THAN WORDS: ROCK, POWER & POLITICS After traveling to the Newseum and the Gerald Ford Presidential Museum, Louder Than Words opened at the William J. Clinton Presidential Library and Museum in Little Rock, Arkansas, where it was on view from March 10 through August 5, 2018. MELLENCAMP opened in August at the Woody Guthrie Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where it will be on view through January 13, 2019.
