A BUILDING ABOUT…

Okay, so the Frank Gehry-designed Experience Music project is a building about music (but it’s not a museum). But what, exactly, is it? “When EMP opens, visitors will step inside a museum that’s also a technological showcase, an educational institution, a research facility, a brick-and-mortar (or rather steel-and-plywood) companion to the Web site emplive.com, and a musical amusement park. Or is it a concert venue, a restaurant and bar, and a tourist trap?” Seattle Weekly
