MuseumsMuseum of Pop Culture (MoPOP)
Housed in a swooping Frank Gehry-designed building at Seattle Center, MoPOP celebrates music, sci-fi, fantasy, video games, and horror, with strong roots in Seattle's grunge and Jimi Hendrix legacy. Go for the immersive, hands-on exhibits and rotating pop-culture shows. Practical note: it shares the Seattle Center campus with the Space Needle and Chihuly, so easy to bundle; weekend doors open early at 8:30 AM.
