EMP Museum opened in 2000. Since, it has welcomed more than 5 million visitors, and has been a key economic driver among Seattle nonprofit arts and culture organizations, with institutional expenditures and audience-member spending resulting in more than $6 million of local economic impact. Through dynamic programs, cutting-edge technology, and interpretative, interactive exhibitions focused on American popular culture, EMP seeks to engage museum visitors in critical thinking about creativity in contemporary society by educating and inspiring a range of visitors of different ages, interests, and experiences.
