Experience Music Project and the science fiction museum

Earth date: 2014, July 14th
Location: Seattle, Washington

Amanda invites us into the fantasy exhibit at the EMP museum
This was Amanda and Zach's first visit to the EMP museum. We moseyed around the music exhibits for a while and learned a fair amount about Nirvana and the grunge movement (most of the second floor is devoted to it).
For Bob Adams: a tower of guitars
The real reason we visited the EMP was to look at the science fiction and fantasy exhibits:
Amanda and Zach entering the sci-fi exhibit (and Amanda contemplating world domination)
Amanda got to see the costumes of many of her sci-fi heroes
John Sheridan's captain's uniform (Babylon 5)
An original Dalek
Data's uniform from TNG.
(Since Data is only one person, shouldn't it be Datum?)

The original and terrifying Alien

One of Amanda's favorite graphic novels: The Watchmen
Yoda's cane and necklace (while he was a physical entity, not a CGI phantasm)
In addition to the science fiction exhibit, there was also a fantasy exhibit. Original costumes from classic 80's movies were there, with the more modern additions of Game of  Thrones and Harry Potter.

And what collection would be complete without the king of the goblins?
