Review:
The Museum of Pop Culture, more casually referred to as MoPOP, was the brainchild of Microsoft co-founder and pop culture enthusiast, Paul Allen.
Located next to the Space Needle on the Seattle Center campus, the museum’s dazzling exterior offers a hint of what’s to come. Inside, exhibitions change with the same fluidity of culture and music.
Past and current exhibitions include nods to Marvel super heroes, horror films, science fiction, myths and fantasy, and video game culture.
There are tributes to a range of musical artists from Jimi Hendrix to Nirvana to Pearl Jam. The museum has a Holodome where visitors experience immersive virtual realities.
Sound Lab offers opportunities to explore studio music and even record a song.
