Experience Music Project Reviews

When we originally made plans to go to the mopop museum it was only for the marvel exhibit that had opened up. And didnt do much looking into what else was there. It was worth every penny to go just a little bit of everything rolled up in one museum. Of course the marvel exhibit was my favorite but the sacred to death and fairy tales were a close 2nd. Oh and make sure you check out the sound lad they have like every instrument you can think and you can actually play them.

Loved the Marvel exhibit and didn't see all of it in 4 hours.

Expectation were high, so was disappointed. Not a lot of exhibits and it s very pricy

A museum very different from traditional, fun, especially if you are a musician

Nice scify/pop culture museum. Parking in lots next to McDonald's is cheap and usually less crowded than the other side. Great complex with the Space Needle and Science Museum all together.
We've been to the Star Trek and Marvel exhibits. But it really is expensive for how small and limited the permanent collection is. It's great to go once, or for a exhibit you really want to see, but there's nothing to draw you back over and over so a membership, which they push, is really a waste.

Awesome museum. Extremely fun, immersive, and interesting. We spent three hours there and only went to three exhibits. Will definitely be back #modernart #rainyday #culture

Awesome. Incredible exhibits that included interactive sections. The horror, fantasy and sci-fi seconds really blew me away.

Worst experience in Seattle. Anna at the front counter was short & curt to say the least. Found them to be very discriminating. Insisted we check our back pack but no one else, again all the while with a rude delivery. Wouldn't get my money or presence now even if they paid me. Too many other things to see & do in Seattle and plenty of other pop culture museums across this great country to see that happen to have amazing, customoer friendly staff.

Wonderful temple to Seattle music and Pop culture. Great standing music exhibits as well as instruments and recording studios to jam and learn in. Marvel exhibit was travelling there and was great for fans! Very nice space.

One of the coolest museums that I have ever been to. There was a corporate party there while I was attending the Moz conference, and it had an awesome combination of venue and museum.

There was a "form your own rock band" where they filmed you and friends playing instruments, and then they fixed it up so you sounded good (like autotune on steroids).

I can't ever think back to when a museum was fun to be inside. This museum is just that though. Marvel exhibit and the music exhibits where you can use instruments being for coolest parts. Didn't check out all the exhibits but I want to go back before marvel leaves in March

Spectacular if you like music you can throw the day

So much fun! If you like movies, music, or Seattle you'll love it here

I love and enjoyed this place. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Totally awesome place to visit.

Really interesting exhibits in this unique museum, but the $30 admission is a bit steep for what you get

Absolutely a don't miss attraction, music,sci fi, marvel comics, and more

The horror and fantasy exhibits were great. Enjoyed the Star Trek exhibit, but was a little disappointed by some of the knock-off prop uniforms though.

Very different museum. Structure itself very unconventional, both inside and outside. Rotating exhibits also very interesting. Great for young and old. Has parking lot adjacent, pricy not unexpected in downtown Seattle. Many buses stop by here-- if not want to worry about parking. Roadside parking free on Sundays but can be hard to find. Go to the sound lab early before there is a line to do a jam session (10 min limit) unless there is no line. When the sound lab lines get long, go see rest of museum.

OMG!! We're members now because it's so friggin Ammmmmmmazzzzzziing!!

The exhibit design for the horror, sci-fi, and fantasy exhibits was gorgeous, and then you have the tornado of guitars which is really cool. The Hendrix, Nirvana, and hall of fame ones were pretty meh though. Didn't feel I walked away with any new information. The music lab is fun, but can get pretty crowded.

Loved the science fiction and fantasy displays. Have some new authors to seek out. My favorite part was listening to examples of music that showcased a variety of guitars

I love the rotating exhibits. Always something new to see!

This is a great place to visit. I was not impressed with the Hello Kitty exhibit, buy loved the guitar exhibits

Funk rise isn't there anymore. Most of the exhibits looks genuine. Some were insignificant.

I feel bad that as a long-time Seattle resident, this was my first trip to MOPOP (what used to be the EMP). The building (interior and exterior) is obviously stunning but I was also really impressed by the number and scale of exhibits!

I will note that a fair amount (probably a majority) of the 'pop culture' references are ones that probably the 35+ crowd would understand better. I still enjoyed it but do I think my dad would take twice as long going through the museum? Absolutely. (For reference, it took my friends and I probably 3 hours).

Highlights of this visit: Star Trek Exhibit, Fantasy Book Exhibit (takes you through elements and examples of fantasy books) and Horror Movie exhibit (I don't even like horror movies but it was really interesting).

Marvel temporary exhibit is amazing. Much of Rock exhibit not available because of Marvel. SciFi area smaller but still excellent

Fun! Loved most of the exhibits, they're presented very well. Even if you're not a fan of some of the things on display, you can't help but appreciate how much work went into creating such immersive displays. Glad we went, but the price is pretty steep so it's probably not a place we'll frequent. Disappointed in the restaurant, which was packed, overpriced, had very limited seating, and was overall not very good. I guess if you slap a big-name chef on the sign you can serve all the burnt yet under cooked pizza you like; next time I'll skip that hour-long waste of time and money.

Must visit in Seattle. If you are Pearl Jam fan you are in for a treat. Lovely place. Will visit again

Not many items on the menu. No specific guidance .
They are there just to go find and surprise yourself.
very less displays for the money

I have been here a couple of times and I really enjoy the different exhibits they have.

Some cool exhibits but entry fee was a bit high for the size of the museum.

Wonderful museum with very interesting and engaging exhibits. I got a membership so I can go back regularly and explore as they bring in new exhibits.

Quality museum, must go visit when in Seattle! The sound lab was SO FUN for my adult group even, loved it all!

So much history of the times that I remember and the artists.

A museum worth visiting a whole day, there's so much to experience you won't be able to see it all.

Cool place. I love music so this is perfect for me.

It was such a fun experience as we saw the different items! An example of these items would be objects and costumes used in movies such as Black Panther or Princess Bride. It was so cool!

What an amazing place, truly a gem of a the city. Everything is so well done there. I was even more impressed with the their audio setups. Whoever they hired really took the time to get every detail. For example you can hear music throughout the first floor. But when distances get large you often get a weird effect where it would sound off because the audio delays weren't correct. Lots of little things. Never mind the fact that they have almost every significant sci fi anything there. Also the marvel exhibit was really worth the money. It was amazing to see the original pages and costumes. 11/10

This place is ALWAYS a must when I visit Seattle.
I've been there three times, and each time there is something new & exciting.
The Star Trek exhibit is only there for a limited time, and an extra fee - but we did it, and even as someone who knows nearly nothing about Star Trek (sorry, guys) it was really well worth it.
Do not skip this Museum!!!
If you are a movie / tv freak like I am, it will be the highlight of your trip.
The music exhibits are so cool too! My heart is just in the movie stuff.

Really awesome museum for geeks of all kinds! Music, movie, fantasy, sci-fi, marvel. THIS PLACE HAS IT ALL!

Was an awesome experience an would recommend to everyone. Place was clean an well serviced. Cant wait to go again.

A spectacular exhibition of pop culture, I was lucky to see the comice book hero version and so enjoyed it.

Formerly known as the EMP. The exhibits were ok but I'm not into D&D so others may appreciate it a lot more than I did. Great gift store.

I loved this place. Is full of everything I love of Pop Culture

If you go to Seattle you must get the city pass to save $$. This activity is included on the pass and is a must see

What a great museum!
The price for two students to get in was about $50 USD.
We stayed in the museum for 5-6 hours, taking our time through all of the exhibits. They ranged from Indie Video games (which had games that you could play and infographics about the gaming industry), to exhibits on famous musicians (Nirvana, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, and more), and exhibits on the history of movie genres (horror, scifi, and fantasy).

All of the exhibits were really well done with a good balance of interactive and informative elememts that made it a great place to go for kids and adults alike. All of the exhibits had really great decorations as well, so the whole experience was really immersive.

If youre going to eat at the Wolfgang Puck restaurant downstairs dont. Its not terrible but its overpriced. There are lots of places to eat around.

My dad and I loved it here because there was a Jimi Hendrix exhibit and for me there was the Indy Game Revolution exhibit.

This place is amazing! Not only things to see, but also hands on exhibits. We really liked Fantasy and the indie video game exhibit. The boys had fun trying all of the games.

Amazing place! They had the Marvel exhibit and I was like a kid at a candy store!

A fun place to explore and dig into pop culture. Loved their music exhibits.

Was "OK" custom service was pretty good would have given lower rating if it wasn't. look much bigger on outside. i got discount and still feel like i over paid. if you get city pass pick zoo over this. also not great for kids at all this is more for over 16 ages.

I can't wait to go back and the Marvel exhibit was worth it.

One of the best museums and definitely go to if you visit Seattle or live here

Amazing museum but had a bitter taste as we shopped in gallery as we saw the picture of Hindu God Vishnu's picture depicted. Hope the management considers the sentiment of Hindus visiting the museum and remove them. Thanks.

Chill, but just change what EMP stands to as Experiencing Museum of Popculture!! Mopop as a name sucks!

It had some really fun exhibits and had something for everyone. Although it was a bit music heavy for my taste and it was also a bit pricey.

It's got some fun elements, but the exhibits don't change, nor are they too terribly interesting. As a concert venue, the Sky Church is nice though--the smaller space makes for a more intimate atmosphere.

If you haven't been here, check it out. It's got cool exhibits on pretty much anything pop culture including shows, music, and even games. Awesome museum!

A place where people can spend their time checking out on history of music in America...and try out a few instruments ! Amateurs in music will find this place great :)

A must-see stop for any pop-culture lover! I went here as part of the Seattle City Pass and I'm glad I did. There were many things to see, even without paying for any of the special exhibits.

I did pay to go in the holo-dome to do the black hole experience. It was fine. I would definitely do it if you are also planning to see the Marvel special exhibit, but if you miss it, you aren't missing out on much.

Don't miss the Indie Games exhibit, the Marvel special exhibit and the Sound Booth.

I really wanted to enjoy this museum. I wanted to enjoy the building and the exhibits. It saddens me that Europe gets Bilbao and America gets this. The museum clearly doesn't flow. I think it would work better as a video, as much of the worthwhile text is in fact video. If you're a big fan of some of the themes, add a star, but the price is too high, $28, and the added $5 for the Jim Hensen exhibit is insulting. It's a decent exhibit, but NOT worth an additional $5, on a museum entry that is TOO expensive already. If you go, I hope you enjoy it. It didn't seem anyone here was impressed or very happy. Lots of people walking around disengaged and longing for something more.

I highly recommend this for movie buffs who love seeing original costumes and props. A while section is on Marvel

The museum has a very limited section of artifacts in some places such as the marvel spot (a few of the first comics and costumes but most of the section is covered with posters about the history of marvel).
