Science Fiction
During MoPOP’s development and early years, the museum focused on exploring narratives within popular music, and the bulk of collection acquisitions were focused accordingly. In 2004, the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame opened, splitting the space in two, with half focusing on music and half on science fiction.
Science fiction is a genre that defies easy definition but in general emphasizes big ideas and a sense of wonder, often within a framework of the effects of technology or future possibilities on humanity or other sentient beings.
