The 4/5 is mostly for the exhibit! I wouldn’t return for anything else. When someone eventually airbed at 10 they just opened the doors and there was somewhat of a stampede to get inside. The Seattle Center Armory started as an actual military armoryand evolved It’s not just a cute name: The building formerly known as the Center House even still has a secret shooting range in. By 9:50 a huge crowd had gathered by the entrance and there were no staff whatsoever to be found. There was so queue system for everyone arriving waiting for the museum to open. Our slot of entry to the exhibition was 10am which turned out to be when the museum opened. It’s also with mentioning the staff need way more training particularly at ticketing and in the cafe. The ticket price excluding exhibition is extortionate for what you get! I did enjoy the permanent collection, particularly the horror and sci-fi sections but if it had not been for the aforementioned exhibition I would have been extremely disappointed.
The layout of the museum is so confusing and convoluted. All the ‘artefacts’ were crammed into tiny galleries when there was so much wasted space in the museum. Unfortunately, the rest of the museum left a lot to be desired.
Seeing the sets and puppets from Coraline, one of my all time favourite films was wonderful. Came here specifically for the Laika Hidden Worlds exhibition which was incredible! If you are a fan of animation I would highly recommend the exhibition, even more so if you know the films.
