Designed by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry  Experience Music Project is a museum devoted to rock music that opens this summer in Seattle. It began in the minds of Paul G. Allen and Jody Allen Patton  whose early passion for Jimi Hendrix led to the amassing of the worlds largest collection of Hendrix memorabilia  and later  a desire to share that collection with the public. Early planning soon gave way to a broader cultural mission-to create a site celebrating musical innovation and inspiring young and old to feel moved by the music-the Experience Music Project was underway. The museums collection includes nearly 80 000 artifacts that shape music history including musical instruments (from one of the first electric guitars to those used by artists such as Bo Diddley  Bob Dylan  Muddy Waters  and Kurt Cobain)  and extensive recorded sound archive  films  photographs  fanzines from around the country  stage costumes  hand written song lyrics  and rare music sheets. The museum is dedicated to the creativity  innovation  and rebellious expression that defines American popular music; and to capturing and reflecting the essence of rocknroll  its roots in jazz  soul  gospel  country and the blues  as well as its influence on hip-hop  punk  and other more recent genres.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67598636744757,"sku":"ByrdShop_156466077X","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781564660770.jpg?v=1790926268","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/crossroads-the-experience-music-project-collection-9781564660770","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
