Went here two hours before closing time, which was enough to see the exhibitions that you wanted to see. Very interesting place, with many things to see. Good for all ages!
Really cool exhibits ! Love be exterior design of the museum . Fun spot to hangout, with a lot of walking options in the area.
Excellent collection of movie props and popular music instruments . Super cool place. Stop by. You won't be disappointed.
The Pearl Jam exhibit was one of the most overwhelming experiences. If you are a fan - this is a must do! Also loved the Nirvana and Jimi Hendrix exhibits .
Especially Make sure to see the Nirvana Exhibit (central), Pearl Jam exhibit (South), & Horror exhibit (south). Nirvana needs the most time to get the most out of it. U Need 1.5hr-4hr total at MoPop
I was expecting something more/else. Do not know myself what exactly, so all I saw was kind of good. Music part about Nirvana, Jimi and PJ was my favorite. While movies were just fun to take photos.
Nintendo indie game museum with monument valley and the floor is jelly . Museum for geeks and nerds and music fans alike.
Super cool museum , I loved the fantasy exhibit ! Well worth a visit even if you're only in town for a few days. They offer student tickets and combo tickets with the space needle.
Such nice place, you can try playing some music instruments , see a little about Nirvana and J. Hendrix, Hello Kitty exhibition was there also. Lots of fun!
Hard to miss the giant tower of guitars. Lots of things to do and see if you're into video games , fantasy stories and guitars and music , esp Hendrix and Nirvana
What a blast we had here. A full immersion on the history of music . Plus, you can have your own moment of "fame" playing instruments , singing etc, in the lab sound. Perfect place for all the family!
super cool pop culture exhibits ! there's a lot of care put into the exhibits and decor. you can tell this is a museum by and for people who love music , film , and the arts .
Best 25$ and place where you can spend a rainy day in Seattle. Amazing place with totaly different exhibitions but all very interesting.
Scifi everything is a must see for nerds. Rotating exhibits are always surprising and informative.
if you're at all interested in the various forms of modern entertainment and how they came to be, I would highly recommend. make sure you watch the video interviews, they're fantastic!
Great museum , but don't expect to spend a whole day. Nirvana and Hendrix exhibits were great
A must see for any movie lover. Beautifully designed exhibitions , interactive & creative ways to display the content. Loved it!
Nice place, with a peculiar variety of exhibits ; sci fi, horror , rock music , pop music , video games . They have discounted tickets if you order online.
One of the most fun museums you can visit anywhere, interactive exhibits , everything from music to science fiction, its a great place for anyone
Nirvana exhibit (punk music ) is great. The Sky Church is interesting...gift shops have excellent selection of funko pop and other alt toys . Good for collectors
This place is wicked awesome and offers a great military discount ! From the Sky Church to each of the exhibits , if you're a fan of music , sci-fi, & pop culture you're in for a treat! A must see!
Surprises around every corner, and well worth a visit while in Seattle. I was fortunate enough to see the Jim Henson exhibit , which had me reflecting back to my childhood.
I've never had a bad time here! Every room is always interesting. It never gets old or boring due to the fun and topical rotating shows. It has something captivating for all ages. Truly an experience.
Just love this place, probably the best place to be in Seattle! Spend four hours in two days and really enjoy its music lab, learned some tricks, singing skills and instruments . LOVE THIS, MUST BE!
The museum is small enough to see every exhibit that interests you and big enough to get your money's worth. Get your tickets online, and plan some time to hang out at the Sky Church ...
Tasty affordable cocktails at the bar , awesome horror exhibit , inspiring wearable art , fun indie game experience.
Building architecture from the outside is stunning but once you are in there is not that much to see. The horror movie and fantasy land exhibition are the best.
Dedicated to contemporary pop culture, music , and science fiction, exhibits here are largely interactive — the Sound Lab allows visitors to explore the latest in musical gear and audio technology.
Definitely worth it! You can spend hours in here just playing games and instruments ! Was here for the Star Wars exhibit !
Most likely the coolest pop culture museum I've ever been to. Movies , music , video games ....you name it. It's there.
Great museum to visit. They have a great selection of things from music , gaming, and currently an an awesome Star Trek exhibit .
This place is awesome, specially the part where you can play with all kinds of musical instruments . I am a fan of Nirvana, and as so, I really enjoyed the exhibition .
If you are a movie junkie, stick to the first floor for Horror , Sci-fi and Fantasy film memorabilia . The second floor has a wing dedicated to musical influencers and an electronic room for gamers.
Probably one of the coolest museums I've ever been to!!! The sky church plays modern music videos in the highest quality
I thought waa meat enough. Lived the Jim Henson exhibit as well as the live music . If i could go back id probably skip this on my must see seattle
They have this awesome section of practice/learning booths with real instruments
The music focused stuff is great, but there's a lot more here. The film and culture focused exhibits are also excellent, just wish it stayed open later.
Incredible museum . The Nirvana stuff was cool and kinda hidden so make sure to find that.
The museum takes you through music history by immersing you in nearly 80,000 artifacts including photos, sound archives, costumes and musical instruments from notable artists .
Designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, this shrine to rock music and sci-fi is covered by 21,000 aluminum shingles, each painted to emulate the finish of an electric guitar. (From Aerial America) Read more
Don't forget to check out the visiting exhibitions (esp. the scream booth and the projector in the Horror one). The new Lego exhibition is pretty cool too!
This is a nice gem that everyone should check out in Seattle. Memorabilia from classic music and film . Definitely worth seeing.
Great music museum ! Be prepare to have lot of fun and see an entire hall about Nirvana and Kurt Cobain
EMP is a fantastic interactive museum invented by Paul Allen. The Sky Church (EMP's concert hall ) boasts state-of-the-art sound & lighting along with one of the best digital screens I have ever seen.
Quirky museum of Pop culture. If you're into sci fiction and horror this would be the museum for you
Nice place to visit. Lots of people and fans of music . Would like to see a little more Jimmy Hendrix.
Super cool space. The indie games section is really well curated. The visiting exhibits have been superb.
The star wars special exhibit is worth the money. The museum just gets better and better.
Cool museum . I liked the most sound space.
Really interesting museum . Fascinating permanent exhibit on music videos and, of course, a permanent installation on Nirvana.
