"MoPop This sheet-metal fever dream by architect Frank Gehry is like a rock-and-roll Guggenheim, home to interactive exhibits that span music, sci-fi, fantasy, animation, video games, and other scrambled bits of modern life. A hands-on studio lets kids and grown-ups mess with real instruments and studio hardware. Originally intended to honor Jimi Hendrix, the building's design echoes one of the legend's smashed guitars (most obviously when viewed from atop the Space Needle). Critic Herbert Muschamp once accused it of "looking like something that crawled out of the sea, rolled over and died," but visitors often enjoy the jumble of color and distorted reflections—perfect for quirky selfies!"
