Buddy Holly Center

TIME : 2016/2/18 10:31:47

A huge version of Holly's trademark horn-rims mark the Buddy Holly Center. The center is home to the Buddy Holly Gallery; a room devoted to the Man with those glasses and pristine teeth. The gallery includes some of his schoolbooks, shoes and records, but best of all are Holly's Fender Stratocaster and hallmark glasses.

The collection delves into Holly's life and gives a good idea of all the rock musicians he inspired, including Bob Dylan, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

The center also houses a fine arts gallery, a gift shop, and the Texas Musicians Hall of Fame, which features ever-changing exhibitions on the music and musicians of Texas.
