Happy 5th Birthday EMP.


For my pals from across the continent visiting Seattle next month: It was 5 years ago today that the Experience Music Project was unveiled by Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft.

The museum houses over 80,000 American popular music items, and contains the largest collection of Jimi Hendrix memorabilia in the world (including his smashed guitar from the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival).
