About
Snabba fakta: Expect immersive exhibits where stage-worn outfits and handwritten lyrics sit beside interactive sound labs that let you mix and play with real tracks. A sculptural, curving exterior often gleams metallic under overcast skies, and fans linger for hours flipping through vinyl in the on-site shop.
Höjdpunkter: Step into a dim, purple-lit gallery devoted to Jimi Hendrix, where a looping 'Purple Haze' track and a vibrating amp make the room buzz in your chest. Local curators hide playful easter eggs like handwritten setlists tucked behind displays, so you sometimes stumble on a tiny, surprising connection to a favorite artist.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries span multiple floors and include hands-on stations.
- Buy timed-entry tickets online to skip the ticket desk and aim for opening time to avoid groups from nearby attractions.
- Photograph the building's curved exterior from the public plaza, and inside the Sound Lab and Hendrix exhibits offer the best photo opportunities; follow museum photo rules.
- If short on time, prioritize special exhibitions and the interactive Sound Lab rather than reading every label.
