The Museum of Pop Culture’s mission is to make creative expression a life-changing force by offering experiences that inspire and connect our communities.
20 Years of MoPOP: Our First Traveling Exhibition - 'Artist to Icon: Early Photographs of Elvis, Dylan, and the Beatles'
To celebrate 20 years of the Museum of Pop Culture, we're highlighting 20 of the most notable moments from MoPOP's history. For our nonprofit museum's eighth milestone (see the first seven milestones at the bottom of this blog!), we're spotlighting our very first traveling exhibition.
Artist to Icon: Early Photographs of Elvis, Dylan, and the Beatles gave visitors a glimpse into the lives of Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and the Beatles before they became music legends, through photographs from Alfred Wertheimer, Astrid Kirchherr, Jürgen Vollmer, Max Scheler, and Daniel Kramer. The exhibition launched at the museum in 2001 and starting in 2003 traveled for nearly a decade to other museums across the United States, kickstarting our Traveling Exhibition Program.
