Experience music at Seattle’s Experience Music Project

There’s never been a better time to visit the Experience Music Project. Alongside its permanent exhibits, the museum is hosting collections from two legendary musicians: Reflections: The Mary Wilson Supreme Legacy Collection and Jimi Hendrix: An Evolution of Sound. In the Mary Wilson exhibit, visitors can view over 50 outfits worn by the Supremes. In the background, video and audio clips of the Supremes will play, all to provide context for the display. The Supreme’s exhibit will come to an end September 6^th.On the other hand, the Jimi Hendrix museum contains five subsections: the iconic guitar wall, musical and cultural timeline, sound effects interactive, mixing interactive and a Play on Theater. From getting a glimpse of Hendrix’s infamous guitars (such as the Woodstock Fender Stratocaster) to understanding how Jimi reinvented the guitar, the exhibit truly explores this musician’s life.But if you miss the EMP’s featured exhibits, no worries, because their permanent collections are just as interesting. In the Guitar Gallery: The Quest for Volume, music lovers can watch the progression of one of the most popular musical instruments. From an Italian guitar, dating back to the 1770s, to a modern collection (with models by Gibson and more), there’s a comprehensive exhibit of guitars.For an understanding of music in the Northwest, visit the Northwest Passage exhibit. The Northwest Passage explores more than the arrival of 90′s grunge, but also, the world of Jazz, R & B, Hip Hop and Punk. Music lovers can expect to see instruments, alongside costumes and records in this collection.The last exhibit, Sound and Vision: Artists Tell Their Stories, contains video clips of famous artists. Histories and personal stories can be heard from Eric Clapton, Tony Tone, Doug E. Fresh, and more. The exhibition also joins both of the museums in the Frank Gehry building: Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum.For tickets and prices, visit the EPM and SFM website.
