Highlights Seattle museum focusing on popular culture.
Seattle's Museum of Pop Culture, now known as "MoPop," presents exhibitions on many aspects of pop culture, including animation, popular music, television, movies. Exhibits may vary.

It was built in 2000 and was initially founded by Paul Allen as the "Experience Music Project," no doubt in homage to Seattle's Jimi Hendrix. EMP eventually became MoPop and widened its focus to encompass more popular culture.

Architect Frank Gehry designed the structure with the intention of making it express "rock and roll" kind of like a guitar. {[{Personally, when it first went in, I thought it looked like a larger and more colorful version of the Queen Anne blob, which no longer exists. But it's grown on me.}]}

I like writing, WordPress, photography and, when I'm not doing those things, cycling, looking at birds, camping, and reading.
