The “Infinite Worlds” signboard leading to the museum’s best exhibit (in my humble opinion!)

Followed a starlit path into the “Infinite Worlds” Sci-Fi Exhibit in Seattle…

Expect 2 things:

+ needing many hours to explore it

+ being camera ready for all the pictures you’ll quite rightly want to take

Quite near Seattle’s famous “Space Needle” (Built for the 1962 World’s Fair), The Frank Gehry-designed building looks like a smashed guitar from above, while inside, its colorful exhibits cover everything from the history of indie video games and horror films to Nirvana, the Seahawks, and more.

Within a dynamic and immersive space, this interactive spacecraft will encourage visitors to embark on their own space adventure, discover new alien civilizations, scout for new worlds to explore from the ship’s cockpit, and investigate numerous alternate universes. What secrets will you unearth?

Below, some of my photos show the costumes and props from their Sci-Fi Exhibit – with some of the world’s most historic Science Fiction accessories being on display. In my next post, more from their Scare Exhibit!

The “Sky Church” where a big screen plays shows on repeat from some of the world’s most famous rock bands – born out of Seattle

Did You Know?

Bands from Seattle include the Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Macklemore and of course, Jimi Hendrix who has his own special room. Photos below show some scribbled lyrics by Jimi from a song he never got to publish. I didn’t expect to learn that he died at 27!
