Review:

The EMP Museum, formerly known as the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, is a museum that focuses on popular culture and is one of Seattle's best museums.

Founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 2000, the museum displays many compelling exhibits and provides several public programs such as Pop Conference, which is a gathering of musicians, critics, and academics.

The museum is housed in a 140,000 square foot building designed by Frank Gehry; this building contains several galleries as well as one of the world’s largest indoor LED screens. There are many interactive exhibits including Sound Lab where guests can try the hands-on tools of rock ‘n’ roll with musical instruments.
