The Museum of Pop Culture was originally a tribute to Seattle's home town boy, Jimi Hendrix. Now it has expanded to include all Rock 'n' Roll music.
The MoPOP describes their mission statement as:
The Museum of Pop Culture is a leading-edge nonprofit museum, dedicated to the ideas and risk-taking that fuel contemporary popular culture. With its roots in rock 'n' roll, MoPOP serves as a gateway museum, reaching multigenerational audiences through our collections, exhibitions, and educational programs, using interactive technologies to engage and empower our visitors. At MoPOP, artists, audiences and ideas converge, bringing understanding, interpretation, and scholarship to the popular culture of our time.
The architecture of the Museum of Pop Culture was designed by Frank Gehry.
