Blog#4: EMP Museum

Hello, this is Kyoko. I chose EMP Museum, Experience Music Project Museum, from many of  Franc Gehry's works because I was attracted by its shape when I looked at the picture.

This architecture is in Seattle, and was founded in 2000. This picture is its view from the Seattle Center. This museum is a place where you can see the history and exploration of popular music in the Pacific Northwest. For example, there are many exhibits of Jimi Hendrix. (He was a musician who brought musical evolution in Seattle.) Besides, you can also enjoy making your original music video and CD and trying real live.

At first, when I looked at the pictures of EMP Museum, I thought it was like building covered with clothes of white, red and blue. However, researching the architecture, I saw that it is wonderful buildhing for people who love music. There are many exhibits such as guitar and gallery of Jimi Hendrix, great musician in Seattle, so probably people who is fan of Jimi will also enjoy a lot. I'm interested in music, too, so I want to go there if I have a chance to visit Seattle.

  2. Oh, the shape and color are so crazy but interesting. I particularly got surprised with the pole which is composed of many guitars I want to know how to create it. I love rock music, so I got interested in EMP Museum. If I go to Seattle, I will visit the museum!
