Evening at "Experience Music Project"
Ride the Monorail to this museum and you are in for something very different!
The museum was designed by world-renowned architect Frank O. Gehry and is
located at the base of the Space Needle. Both the building's architecture and
its unparalleled collection of music-related artifacts have made EMP a very
popular destination for locals and visitors alike.
- Crossroads, the main exhibit area, combines rare artifacts
with imagery and multimedia to recount stores that span a
century of American popular music. The exhibit pays tribute
to many Northwest artists and other musicians from around the
country, the inspiring artistry of Jimi Hendrix, the development of
the electric guitar and more. Musicial revolutions from jazz
and blues to the birth of rock n' roll and the hip-hop explosion
are explored, providing fresh insight into the diverse
expressions of musical creativity.
- The Sound Lab will be open for those who enjoy playing,
performing and moving to music. Whether a novice or professional musician,
you can explore your creative potential as you perform to a virtual concert
audience or engage with interactive instruments.
- Light refreshments will be available. For a sneak peak of EMP, visit
