The city is known for having numerous unique and usual museums that you probably won’t find in tourist guides. Here are some of the best.

Official Bad Art Museum of Art

Bad art can’t be that bad, right? Well, you can test that out by visiting the Official Bad Art Museum of Art. Dedicated to bad art in all its forms, it’s a quite unique place that will make you appreciate good art even more.

Ye Olde Curiosity Shop

While technically a shop, Ye Olde Curiosity Shop is better known for its unusual exhibits that range from mummies to totem poles, 19th-century Russian samovar, antique weapons, netsuke sculptures, and much more. Over a million people visit the shop/museum each year.

Seattle Pinball Museum

As you might guess, Seattle Pinball Museum is dedicated to vintage pinball machines. The place has an impressive collection that consists of more than 50 machines and visitors can test out each one.

Rubber Chicken Museum

This might be the only museum in the world dedicated to rubber chickens. It has both the largest and the smallest rubber chicken on display, as well as dozens of other rubber chicken items on display.

]]> Visiting Seattle, Washington, is a unique experience for grunge music fans. The city is considered the birthplace of the genre and was also home to some of its biggest acts like Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. While Seattle’s alternative rock culture isn’t what it used to be, it still has plenty of attractions to offer to those nostalgic about the early ’90s and the times when grunge was the biggest thing in music. Continue reading to find out some of them.

Museum of Pop Culture

Your first stop should definitely be the Museum of Pop Culture, located at 325 5th Ave N. The museum is the place to learn more about the city’s grunge history and check out exhibitions dedicated to the iconic grunge bands.

Central Saloon

Central Saloon, located at 207 1st Ave S, is considered one of the most important venues in grunge. The place hosted almost all of the genre’s most influential bands, and there are still posters and memorabilia from some of those shows hanging on the walls. According to the legend, it was at this venue that Nirvana landed the deal for their first album, Bleach.

Viretta Park

At first glance, Viretta Park is just a small city park in the Denny-Blaine neighborhood with nothing special to offer aside from calming nature. However, this is an important place for grunge fans, especially those who like Nirvana. The benches in the park are considered unofficial memorials of the band’s late frontman Kurt Cobain and are covered with lyrics, messages, and letters written in his honor.

London Bridge Studio

Bands like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Temple of the Dog recorded their early demos and albums at London Bridge Studio. Located at 20021 Ballinger Way NE, the studio is still in business and offers tours for fans who want to see where the music history was made.
