Elvis Awards

Elvis Presley was one of the most acclaimed musicians of all time. His achievements, awards and recognition span several genres of music, a successful film career and tireless charity work. To see just how celebrated Elvis was – and still is – Graceland visitors can browse the all-new Elvis: The Entertainer Career Museum at our exhibit and entertainment complex, Elvis Presley's Memphis at Graceland. This is the world's largest Elvis museum, and it includes a huge number of gold and platinum albums and singles, as well as many of the awards won by Elvis. Grammy awards for Best Inspirational and Sacred Performances, NME awards, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and many more are all hanging on the wall. This museum is a true testament to the legendary artist’s prolific career. The museum also features an impressive display of Elvis' posthumously-received awards, along with a gallery of some of Elvis’ iconic jumpsuits. Don’t miss Elvis: The Entertainer Career Museum on your next tour of Graceland.
