  • The Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) is a nonprofit museum dedicated to contemporary popular culture, and includes Paul Allen's "Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame." Located near the Space Needle, MoPOP is one of the two stops on the Seattle Center Monorail, which runs through the building and connects to downtown Seattle, in Washington, USA. It was founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen in 2000 as the "Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame" (EMP|SFM), and was later called the "EMP Museum" until November 2016. The building was designed by Frank Gehry, and its sheet-metal construction resembles many of his firm's other works, such as Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, Walt Disney Concert Hall and Gehry Tower. The central "Sky Church" room pays homage to Jimi Hendrix and other rock and roll icons.
