It's supposed to look like a broken guitar but "heart" and "lung" have also been used to describe this 140,000 square foot music museum at the Seattle Center. Conceived by Paul Allen and designed by Frank Ghery, the museum takes you through music history by immersing you in nearly 80,000 artifacts including photos, sound archives, costumes and musical instruments from notable artists. The Northwest Passage exhibit examines how musicians and groups from the Northwest, such as Jimi Hendrix, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Screaming Trees and the rest, helped to shape rock music. The onsite Turntable restaurant serves basic fare, and the Liquid Lounge has a full bar and hosts concerts.
