When did EMP change to MoPOP?

The museum has already swapped in the new name on its website and social media accounts, but EMP officially becomes MoPOP this Saturday, Nov. 19. MoPOP will open its doors free to the public for an all-day party celebrating the name change with free tours, concerts, dance performances, video game competitions and more.

Why does MoPOP look like that?

A fusion of textures and myriad colors, MoPOP’s exterior conveys all the energy and fluidity of music. Three-thousand panels, made up of 21 thousand individually cut and shaped stainless steel and painted aluminum shingles, encase the outside of the building.
