Experience Music Project Review

I found this museum to be a letdown. I came for the Nirvana exhibit, which was good but small. It could have been bigger and the videos didn't really tell the band's story very well, particularly after seeing the Montage of Heck. Integrating more footage of Nirvana with music and video would have brought it to life. The people interviewed and recorded for the kiosks were people most people have never heard of. Where are interviews from Dave and Kris? Courtney? Anyone?

The rest of the museum, with the exception of a small room for Jimi Hendrix, was not related to music history. I walked through the rest in about 20 minutes. I would not recommend this museum unless you have very diverse pop culture interests (Star Trek, videogames, etc.) The price is steep for the entertainment value here.

It is a gem, but unorganized, not sure if they thought of the flow of people logistically

We drove all the way from the Bay area so that I could let my kids see this place. This place is awesome! If you love music and history and other cool stuff, go here- it's well worth it!

Unique place with great nostalgia and member berries.

Awesome sites and fantastic music history display. A must see.

There was plenty to look at, and to learn! It's amazing to see so many things from varying areas of my own pop culture experience.

Had a great time here. Loved the fantasy horror section. I enjoyed Prince, Nirvana, Jimi Hendrix rooms.

Best tourist attraction in Seattle. We spent well over 3 hours here and could have easily been more. All attractions were really well put together and fun. Particular favourites were the music rooms and the holodome experience which cost a little extra but was so worth it.

Amazing exhibits and concert hall - great for families and corporate events.

Im here visiting my best friend and was really glad I remembered to check this out! Really awesome experience. Featuring different band/artist, video game, and movie exhibits on top of an awesome store and restaurant/bar. They also had a special Marvel exhibit during my visit and it was a very cool/special exhibit. Especially with Stan Lee's recent passing. R.I.P

This place is awesome! I loved the Jimi Hendrix exhibit and the new Marvel one, so so many awesome pieces and replicas.
It's great that you can buy a city pass that includes MoPOP, the needle, Seattle aquarium, and more. It's a little pricey but totally worth it.
They've got a great gift shop inside too, lots of tshirts and Funko Pops. Definitely a must if you love music, Star Trek, Jimi Hendrix, Marvel, and other iconic pop culture!

Competition for your attention is fierce & this place is in it to win it.

one of the tourist places in Seattle, like a lot of things to see and enjoy

Never been before today. Excellent and unique exhibits. Probably picked a good day. I imagine weekends are much busier.

Wow! What fun! So many items to see! Every time I went on to the next item I was so surprised at what a fantastic collection they had!
The outfit Leeloo wore from the 5th element, red dress from Battlestar Galactica and countless others but my favorite is the collection of Kurt Cobain and the Nirvana collection.
I don t really have anything negative to say. Except they go to great lengths not to feed Gizmo from Gremlins and encase him so he won t be able to eat after Midnight but he doesn t look healthy - he s just laying on his back looking dehydrated.
I went at a slower time of the year so I didn t have to wait in line.

Had a great time walking around the pop culture museum. I was there when the marvel exhibit was going on. Price was a little high for the add-on but definitely worth checking out if you're at all into props and costumes. I feel like two or three hours when it's busy is a good time to budget to walk through and see most of everything.they were a little too busy for me to check out the indie game section because you would have had to wait to get a spot to play but I didn't feel like I missed too much. They also have a pretty good little gift shop at the beginning and end of the museum.

Don't even question it. Just go see it. Go see it right now!

This museum provides a trip through the history of pop culture, highlighting Seattle's internationally successful bands, especially Pearl Jam. A must visit for rock lovers. Fun, interesting and very well organized is a great fun option. Being in Seattle and being a pop music lover, don't miss this fun museum.

I was seriously disappointed in this place. They must have been between setups because it was the Hendrix And Prince experience, the music makers, guitars, and the game room. The game room was full of kids and adults that hoarded the games and wouldn't get up, same with the music makers, and half or more of the headphones in the guitar area didn't work. It just wasn't what all the hype proclaimed.

It was a fun place to visit, and it wasn't crowded. Also, lots of employees so if you have questions they can point you in the right direction. It definitely took me back to my childhood, but it also had new age things like Mindcraft and an indie video game room. I recommend it!

Big disappointment especially considering the $25 a head admission price. The Sound Lab, Guitar Gallery and Jimi Hendrix exhibits were the best thing going but, woefully small. Wish they would dedicate as much space and content to stuff like that as they did to Hello Kitty.

Definitely worth it. Don t be cheap spend the extra bucks and check the Marvel exhibit out. Good stuff

First time. Went ahead and signed up for annual VIP. Pretty excited about upcoming events to come. To me it's easy to spend a full day here. I love the interactivity and the random obscure collection of tangibles. It helps to identify and bring me into the moment. Not sure what I'll think of this museum in 30 years. We even decided to easy here and food was surprisingly affordable. Overall the museum collection is one of the top 10 I've been in and looks to only be improving daily.

It was pretty cool and the building is fabulous. Hot and stuffy with stairs to climb made wearing the mask uncomfortable for the duration. The museum has taken plenty of steps to promote social distancing but there were still a lot of people around.

A great place to go if you are a music lover. Different types of instruments and pro recording lab. Great experience.

Four Stars would have been Five but 30$ a person was steep.
If it was comperable to a movie theater ticket 14.50-15$ the volume of attendees would be incredible and more people could enjoy their local PopCulture History.
I was upset to see exhibits removed because of political ties/personal feelings. After all this is a museum and that felt like historical censorship. I'm sad to see the museum renamed. EMP better described what this place is. Experience Music Project for ever.

Favourite museum ever! Lots of exhibits to see and learn from, from Nirvana to Pearl Jam to horror and sci-fi. Spent more time in here than I've ever spent in any museum. The sound lab where you can jam with friends and the holodome were experiences you shouldn't miss!

Found out about music I never heard before, great place to visit!!

Crowded, flow through exhibits was chaotic in spots. Not all exhibits were well labeled.

Nirvana was good but the rest of the museum was garbage. Waste of money.

There's a lot more than music tribute to musicians in this Museum. For those Horror movie enthusiast or science fiction;Star Trek. Guitar lover's of fine music this is for you. Leave the kids with the sitter if you can. Limited areas for children mostly adult entertainment.

So much to see and alot of interactive displays. Great way to spend a rainy day in Seattle.

It is a very nice museum on the outside, it has a very cool architecture, if you like art music and all that is the perfect place, I think it is a very nice museum, but to which they should add more exhibitions!

Lots of interesting facts and fun exhibits to play with.

Lots of interesting art and music things. Many types included for all ages.

Has a really great architecture that makes the building stand out well. It also holds a lot of history about grunge and a really cool music room to play around with high quality instruments.

A must go in Seattle. Lots of great exhibits, make sure to pinch for the traveling exhibit! This time was Star Trek, next time who knows?

Great atmosphere with some fantastic exhibits. If you get there in time for the marvel exhibit. Definitely do it!

I love this place, I come here for the sound lab it's amazing, I recommend anyone who comes to Seattle has to see this attraction

Great place. Great exhibits. I could spend all day in here. Fun for all.When you go allow enough time to see everything. Also be prepared to pay extra to see the Marvel exhibit. It is not included in the standard admission to the museum. It is definately worth it.

A little pricey for the amount of material in the exhibits, but Jim Henson and Mick Rock photos of Bowie at the same time, yes please.

This is my 3rd time visiting and it is always a blast!

Fantastic museum!!!! I travel to seattle every year and a visit at the mopop is always worth it

I liked it better when it was experience music. I hope they don't lose sight of the music roots.

The exhibits are top notch. Wonderful day spent with movies, music, and video games.

So much fun. The sound exhibit was amazing. Really enjoyed my time there. The horror exhibit was great as well. Will need to come back once the Marvel exhibit opens

Awesome, fun. There's history worth learning about. Art observing and appreciating.

Makes me feel old and young at the same time. Thank you for the feels and good times!

Im told that the exhibits are constantly changing for the better

Museum of pop culture what not to love Geeks in heaven

The price is well worth it. The staff are welcoming and the exhibits are really great. Even the little Wolfgang puck restaurant was pretty good. Also highly recommend the sound lab. Only a 10 min wait to jam with drums and both 6 string and bass guitars.

Definitely worth your time to visit. We could have stayed there all day looking at all of the different exhibits! In fact, we were there for the majority of the day and never got bored.

Very fun! If you re in that area I highly recommend.

This is one fun museum! The sci-fi and horror exhibit was cool and the kids loved the Marvel exhibit.

Nice place to explore the American Pop Culture. Didn't visit the Jim Henson sound lab as I entered it pretty late. The Star Trek exhibitions is interesting. The digital gaming exhibit sponsored by Nintendo is fun and not just for kids. The Scream of Death is not as scary as the name might mean but truly not for young kids.

I haven't been to the EMP Museum yet but it looks like a place that I would like to visit.

Such a cool place, i absolutely love the sound lab in particular
