New Nirvana Exhibit at EMP

If you ever go to Seattle you have to check out The Experience Music Project (EMP).  It's one of the coolest museums in the country, and I actually think that I've enjoyed it more than I enjoyed the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.  The EMP already had an extensive exhibit honoring hometown heroes Nirvana, and this spring it gets even deeper.  In April Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses will be open to the public.  Nirvana bassist Kris Novoselic dug through his attic to contribute new material to the museum.  Novoselic gave up his bass, unseen photos of the band, T-shirts Cobain wore on stage, and posters.  Also with the focus on punk music I am sure we will see what type of music influenced  the members of Nirvana.  Last year when I was reading "Heavier Than Heaven" the Cobain biography by Charles R. Cross, I found it fascinating to see what Kurt listened to.  There was plenty of things I had never heard.  I'm discovering the same thing now with Keith Richard's "Life".  I plan on getting out to Seattle this April to see what new Nirvana memorabilia has gone on display.
