Experience Music Project Hours Information

Experience Music Project in Seattle was established in 2000 by Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft. And in 2004 Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame was added to the building's south wing. In the early years, these two museums were operated separately and visitors had to buy either admission into one museum or a combined ticket for both. Fortunately this situation ended in 2007 and since then, visitors can enjoy the full offers of EMP and SFM at a single admission. Though these two museums are housed in one building and often mentioned as the same thing, they are dedicated to totally different fields.
