EMP

 After messing around at Seattle Center we headed over to the EMP or Experience Music Project.  

I had never been here before.  It was pretty interesting.  I mean the outside of the building alone is pretty wild.  I think to really appreciate this place you’ve got to know your music.  For me, I can’t even read music, let alone know who sings what.

There’s a small little area that is free and open to the public.  It has little benches and this huge screen.  You can sit, hang out and just listen to music.  Kind of cool, if you ask me.

There are a few exhibits in this place.  The big one is the Jimmy Hendrix exhibit.

There old guitars that he used, photos, and lots of history about his music career.

They were also showcasing the Supremes and had their costumes on display.  Those were neat to look at up close.

The place the kids enjoyed the most was this sound lab because it was hands on!

  There was this drum thing that the kids had fun playing with.

There

were also several little sound proof rooms where you could play a guitar, keyboard, or even pretend to record music.

Seriously, this building is the most quirky building I’ve ever seen.
