The EMP is an interesting place to visit for a look into the history of rock and roll. It is especially well-focused on the parts of music history that have happened in the Northwest. There's a lot of Jimi Hendrix stuff too. If you can get one of their portable music-and-information devices (called a MEG), they provide a lot of background information beyond what is visible in the displays. The collection isn't particularly large, though, and sometimes it can be quite disappointing because of the small size of the items on display.
