The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), housed in a striking building designed by Frank Gehry, is a must for fans of music, movies, and gaming. The museum explores the history and evolution of popular culture, with interactive exhibits on topics like science fiction, fantasy, horror films, and video games. One of the museum’s highlights is its music exhibits, which include memorabilia from iconic artists like Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana, both of whom have deep ties to Seattle. The museum’s galleries are ever-changing, so there’s always something new to see, whether you’re a die-hard sci-fi fan or just curious about the evolution of pop culture.
