In the same building as the Science Fiction Museum is the Experience Music Project. It is a museum mixed with some interactive/learning rooms.

Busted up Hendrix guitars
Jimi Hendrix handwritten lyrics
There was a room that went in chronological order of the history or guitars. It was awesome. Pardon the blurriness of my pics. It was a dark room and flash photos were prohibited.
This was Kurt Cobain's guitar from the Smell like Teen Spirit video. His band Nirvana was from Seattle.
This was Eric Clapton's guitar from "Layla".
A quick video of the entrance display. Some of the instruments had moving pieces that moved on their own.

Very cool Stos! I HAVE to get Jake to this place - too bad it's like 4,000 miles away from NY. That looks like every one of his favorite things in one place - Flying V guitars, Michael Jackson's glove, Eddie Van Halen's guitar, Jimi Hendrix memorobilia, etc. Jake would be in heaven in that place!
Kelly, Jake totally would love this place! I didn't get a pic, but the top floor has an interactive room with an electronic hand drum table, hands-on learn to play guitar and electronic drum kits and keyboards. All the guitars are on their own stands so you don't hold them up, you just adjust the height. All the instruments stations have touchscreen videos to teach you how to play. It was really cool!
Sweet! Sounds like this alone is worth the trip to Seattle!
