Seattle is one of the most spectacular cities that the West Coast has in store and it’s worth the visit for its thriving cultural scene alone. The museums in the largest city of Washington are truly top of the line and they cover a wide range of topics, from art and history to science and technology. Here are three amazing museums that will make you fall in love with Seattle and never look back.
Seattle Art Museum
If you can’t resist exploring art museums in each new city you go to, this is the best one you’ll find in all of Seattle. In addition to the main museum in downtown Seattle featuring 25,000 pieces, there are several more cultural institutions under SAM’s jurisdiction including the Olympic Sculpture Park and the Seattle Asian Art Museum.
The Museum of Flight
Seattle is home to the world’s largest private air and space museum, which welcomes half a million visitors every year. The Museum of Flight has many historic aircraft and space vehicles on display, but it also runs many educational programs.
Museum of Pop Culture
The Museum of Pop Culture has only been around since 2020, but that didn’t stop it from growing into one of Seattle’s top attractions. It’s housed inside a modern building by the famed architect Frank Gehry, and its collection covers everything from science fiction, video games, and music, with a special focus on the iconic Seattle musician Jimi Hendrix.
