Pillar of guitars, Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP), Seattle, WA

This photo shows a large pillar of guitars and other stringed instruments. This was in the center of the main lobby. Off to one side was the room with mementos from various movie and television series (like the Star Trek tunic and Nemo's coat). To the other side was a display of famous guitars that had been donated. To the third side was a dizzying display of pop and rock musicians - most of whom I'd never heard of. The fourth side had displays to Horror, Science Fiction, and Fantasy. According to the plaque that appeared with this pillar, when it was built, some of the instruments would autoplay. That feature no longer works. Seattle, WA
