Experience Music Project Museum

We returned to the Space Needle area to visit the top of the Needle.
A little different view of the Needle.
Always lines in this tourist magnet town. 
"What do you have there, ma'am?"
A view of the harbor and the location of the dock where we will embark tomorrow.  This ship is the Norwegian Jewel.
When Al was about three years old, he was sitting in his grandmother's lap.  Looking up at her, he said, "Grandma, your face is cracked!"  Perhaps she smiles now as he has inherited the "cracks".
Next a visit to the EMP Museum that
    "...is a leading-edge nonprofit museum, dedicated to the ideas and risk-taking that fuel contemporary popular culture."

The Jimi Hendrix gallery.
A gallery dedicated to Punk Rock, that along with Jimi Hendrix, originated in the Seattle area.

Costumes from the Star Wars gallery, that cost eight dollars more.  We did not go.
Ruth in the Indie Game Revolution Gallery.
A gallery dedicated to the work of Chuck Jones and the Loony Tunes family of cartoons that enlivened movies of the 1940's and 1950's.  First the newsreel, then the cartoon and finally the main feature.
Inside the circle.
That is the gallery that the older folks spent most time in.  The younger ones in our crowd spent time in the Hendrix and Punk galleries.
