Rooster_Ties Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 (edited) Hey, quick question since we'll be in Seattle all next week - is the Seattle "Experience Music Project" museum really worth $20?? My wife and I are children of the 80's (both born in the very late 60's), and have a fair interest in pop/rock music (my wife especially loves 80's music), but $20 per person seems a touch steep for our blood. Anybody been there before?? Was it worth the time and/or money?? Any other advice relative to going there??? Thanks a bunch!!!!

Rooster_Ties Posted June 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 "Up" with this thread, before heading off to bed. I should be able to check the board while I'm in Seattle, so keep posting any suggestions about the EXP museum for the next several days. Thanks!!!

danasgoodstuff Posted June 7, 2003 Report Share Posted June 7, 2003 The experience music project can be a fun day, but you better count on spending the whole day--there's a lot of stuff, much of it interactive and there can be (or used to be at least) long lines on weekends. You can take a break for lunch at the Seattle Center. Parking and driving in this neighborhood can be a bear, but that's true of all Seattle.

Rooster_Ties Posted June 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 We found coupons for $5 off on admission, so for $15 - I think we're planning to go on Friday, right when they first open. Don't know if we'll have the whole day, but we'll be sure to plan for at least 4 or 5 hours. Otherwise, we're having a GREAT time on our trip!!!! Probably won't be able to post much more until next week sometime, when we get down to Oregon. Talk to you all then!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted June 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Can't talk much now, but had a great visit to the EMP. Well worth the $15-per-person we paid to get in. Extensive Hendrix exhibit, and a huge historic guitar collection. Even the Disco exhibit was interesting. 25 years of punk poster art from the Seattle area. I'd go back again in 5 years, if I was in town again that soon. Having a great time on our trip otherwise. Will write more later, if I get the chance... TTFN!!!

chris Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 Well, WELL worth it. As others have said, plan to make a day of it. I only had about five hours and know I could have spent a couple of days there! The exhibits are quite rich, and the special exhibit area had a particularly fascinating display at the time (who knows what is there now). I have to admit I teared up a few times, most notably at the Hendrix display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
