THE TALE OF ROBERT JOHNSON
An exhibit featuring the famed guitarist who was said to have sold his soul to the devil, Robert Johnson. Recording only 29 songs in his career, San Antonio has a deep-seeded connection with Johnson. On November 23rd, 1936, he recorded 13 of his 29 songs at the historic Gunter Hotel in downtown San Antonio which would later inspire future musicians such as Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and the Rolling Stones. This exhibit tells the story of Robert Johnson from birth to his untimely death and how he influenced pop culture for generations after.
