Opened in 2000, EMP is the only museum of its kind: a museum of popular music that encourages visitors of all ages and backgrounds to experience the power and joy of music in its many forms. Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame also is a one-of-a-kind experience. Opened in June 2004, SFM immerses visitors into science fiction’s “alternative worlds” and inspires new generations to reach beyond the present, imagine the future, and explore the infinite possibilities of the universe.
