Museum of Pop Culture
About This Museum
Nestled in the shadow of the Space Needle, Seattle's Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) thrums with the raw energy of a rock anthem. It was born from a spark of inspiration from hometown hero Jimi Hendrix, and that spirit of musical rebellion echoes through its halls. You'll find yourself face-to-face with the very artifacts that defined generations, from Bob Dylan's handwritten lyrics to the gritty soul of Bo Diddley's guitar. Itβs less a quiet hall of artifacts and more a visceral, high-volume journey through the sounds and stories that shaped our world.
Collection Highlights
The heart of MoPOP beats in its Sound Lab, where you can actually grab an instrument and make some noise. Don't miss the towering shrine to Northwest grunge or the fantasy worlds brought to life in the Science Fiction and Horror exhibits.
Visitor Information
You'll find it at 325 5th Avenue North, right in the Seattle Center. It's a good idea to check their website for timed tickets, especially on weekends when it can get pretty lively.
