This was not a "must do" on our list but I'm really happy we went. The exhibits are very well done and laid out. You can easily follow a structured path or simply wander. When here, we saw several installments including Horror, SciFi, Fantasy, as well as the Nirvana and Hendrix exhibits. There is this amazing video / dance space where music videos play at the largest size you have ever seen. The sound is great and seats are available. I bet 30 minutes passed watching Pharrell and Macklemore videos. If you are in the Seattle area, go here. You will not be disappointed. Oh and the architecture is amazing :)

Fun, especially if you like sci-fi, fantasy, and such. The extra exhibit (with an $8 extra fee) was Marvel Super heroes. Mostly costumes and props, there were plenty of Instagram opportunities.

I did expect more generic tv, movies, and music. Cool place.

I wanted to like the museum more. While there were some really great parts, like the sci-fi exhibit, there were downsides as well. It is a bit on the expensive side for adults to visit and, at least when I was there, was packed with kids. The sheer number of people present made it difficult to enjoy.

This museum is totally worth the visit. We spent about 3 hours maneuvering fairly steadily through each exhibit. This museum covers a lot of pop culture from music to movies to video games. The museum is part of the City Pass which makes this value even more worth it!

If you like music (who doesn't?) this is a great place to spend an afternoon. There are so many creative and historic exhibits and artifacts. If you're a sci-fi fan, you must come here if you're in Seattle (currently Star Trek exhibit). And if you like architecture, this Frank Gehry building will be a must-see, since it is unlike any other structure in the U.S. It's not a cheap admission ticket, so you'll want to have enough time to make it worthwhile...

This place is AWESOME! If you love Pop Culture please take the time see to this place. The original props and costumes not only from classic movies but from musicians! I used my Seattle City Pass. One of my top destinations in Seattle. Highly recommended!

Even I didn't know most of the groups and movies presented in the museum( I am not as familiar with American pop culture being a foreigner), it was very fun. Very well taking care of building, super clean facility, cool interactive exhibitions.

A lot of Nirvana and Jimi Hendrix stuff but in my opinion there wasn't enough content to make a whole museum out of it and there were a lot of plaques to read off of. I wouldn't pay to read about this stuff when I can do that for free on Wikipedia

People who come here come her because they want to be here. There s something interesting for everyone. The staff and volunteers are enthusiastic and genuinely excited about where they work. You re going to hear shrieks of delight from all ages from people seeing props and items from their favorite pop culture. The staff are kind and patient even when the rush of tourists comes in.

The curators do amazing work at designing the exhibits and they work with the fantastic architecture of the building to enhance their exhibits.

You may get lost. Don t worry. The staff and volunteers recognize the MoPOP directional confusion expression and are quick to help you out.

The MoPOP hosts events for those who need lower stimulation which includes lowering the bright lights, turning down the music and sound effects, and reducing major sources of distraction and overstimulation.

MoPOP truly lives up to its mission statement:

The Museum of Pop Culture s mission is to make creative expression a life-changing force by offering experiences that inspire and connect our communities.

They promote inquiry, curiosity, engagement, and community. Pop culture includes everyone and MoPOP is truly a worldwide connector.

I m proud to be a volunteer at the best museum in Seattle.

I have a membership and think it's worth it. I always bring family and friends here when they're visiting, there's usually a new section. Plus the member events they have are a ton of fun. The only thing I would ask for is more member events as they're pretty sparse at the moment.

I will say their campout cinema event is super fun and I definitely recommend it. Being able to lay on some blankets and look up at a movie while enjoying themed drinks and snacks is so much fun and I try to go as often as I can.

The best museum ever! The fantasy, horror, and sci fi exhibits are amazing. Pearl jam, prince, nirvana and jimi hendrix are great music exhibits to see. Sound lab looked cool but too crowded to experience.
