The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (RRHOF), or Rock Hall, is a prominent museum in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, dedicated to preserving and documenting the history of rock music and celebrating the artists, producers, and figures who shaped its development. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was established on April 20, 1983, by Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun.

Cleveland was chosen as the permanent home in 1986, largely due to its historical connection to WJW disc jockey Alan Freed, who coined the term "rock and roll" and hosted what is often considered the first major rock and roll concert there. The iconic museum building, designed by renowned architect I. M. Pei, officially opened its doors on September 1, 1995, with a star-studded dedication featuring Yoko Ono and Little Richard, followed by an all-star concert.

Since 1986, the Foundation has annually inducted new members, with the museum continually documenting the broader history of rock and roll, regardless of induction status, for general readers worldwide.
