Open today from 10 AM – 5 PM

EAT. SHOP. LISTEN.

Sink into the vinyl listening bar, where the records spin all day and the only agenda is the next track. Grab a bite at Culture Kitchen, where the menu pulls from the cultures that shape the music, film, and stories we celebrate. Browse the MOPOP Shop for the kind of finds you won't see anywhere else, from exhibition-inspired pieces to gifts for the pop culture obsessive in your life (even if that's you).

Whether you're killing time before a show at Seattle Center, meeting a friend, or making a whole afternoon of it, this is your open invitation. Come as you are. Leave with a new favorite song, a full stomach, or something you didn't know you needed.

Culture Kitchen is MOPOP's recently reimagined restaurant, open to everyone with no museum ticket needed. After 25 years of crafting conversations through sound, screen, and story, MOPOP now invites you to experience culture in a delicious new way: through flavor.

Culture Kitchen stirs the pot, flips the script, and dishes out a fresh take on museum dining, with a menu bursting with Pacific Northwest ingredients. It's pop culture you can taste. All you need is an appetite for bold bites and bigger ideas.

Weekend brunch brings local ingredients, seasonal flavors, and plates made for sharing to the table. Later in the day, the pour list runs from craft cocktails and local beer to Washington wine and zero-proof favorites. Whether you're winding down after the galleries, wrapping up a day at Seattle Center, or just here for a good drink, pull up a seat, stay awhile, and raise a glass to the stories that bring us together.

The MOPOP Shop is the museum's newly redesigned retail store. Browse exhibition-inspired pieces, music and pop culture finds, and gifts you won't see anywhere else.

This isn't your average museum gift shop. The shelves pull from the worlds MOPOP celebrates: music, film, fandom, and the artists and movements that shape culture. Pick up something tied to a current exhibition, hunt down a gift for the pop culture obsessive in your life, or treat yourself, because you were never going to leave empty-handed anyway.

Can't make it in person? Shop online anytime.

Listen

The Vinyl Listening Bar is a listening space inside MOPOP's newly redesigned retail space on the museum's lower level at Seattle Center. No ticket needed: browse a curated collection of records, pick an album that catches your eye, and settle in at a listening station to experience the full texture of vinyl.

Part discovery space, part gathering place, the Vinyl Listening Bar celebrates the ritual of listening. Spend time with the artists, albums, and musical movements that continue to shape culture today, whether you're a longtime collector or dropping the needle for the first time.
