Trap Music Museum

This guide to the Trap Music Museum in Atlanta follows the frantic renovation of an abandoned warehouse in the Bluff, one of Atlanta's roughest pockets, a two-week job that stretched into two months. It traces the idea back to a date night, when T.I. and his partner Bem Sparks joked in an escape room about giving trap music a museum of its own, and the creative director, Antwanette McLaughlin, who ran the build room by room from pinned-up mood boards. Down the hall, a young researcher named Dre Drakes dug through record crates chasing a separate question: which producer actually invented the sound. Look for the exhibit built to resemble a grandmother's living room, boarded windows included.
