Music, science fiction, and pop culture converge at the captivating Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle. Designed by the legendary Frank Gehry, the building's exterior resembles a smashed guitar when viewed from above. It's a visual symphony that sets the stage for what's inside. Step in and you're greeted by vibrant exhibits that celebrate everything from the evolution of indie video games and spine-tingling horror films to the grunge phenomenon led by Nirvana and the city's beloved Seahawks.
This museum isn't just about static displays; it’s an interactive playground where you can strum a guitar in the Sound Lab or marvel at the detailed costumes from iconic sci-fi films. The museum also hosts engaging events, including film festivals and live performances, making each visit unique. Whether you're a die-hard music fan or a sci-fi aficionado, there's something here to ignite your passion.
The Museum of Pop Culture is not just a place to observe; it's a place to experience.
