DETROIT—The Motown Museum is planning a $50 million expansion to create space for interactive exhibits, a performance theater and recording studios at the Detroit tourist attraction, officials announced Monday.

The new space will be designed and built around the existing museum, which includes the Motown studio with its “Hitsville U.S.A.” facade. Renderings released by the museum show a new facility behind the existing museum, with an entrance next to the existing studio.
