EMP's bright colors and appearance composed of 3000 stainless steel sheets and aluminum sheets show the strength and flowing beauty of music, but its eclectic expression is not optimistic, ranking third in the world's most ugly buildings on Forbes list . A large part of the works in the indoor exhibition area is to pay tribute to local music icons such as Jimi Hendrix, telling the spirit of rock and roll and the development history of the entire American pop music. The application of high technology can even experience the charm of music in person. 1. Introduction of the exhibition area There are coffee shops and record shops on the 1st floor. The second floor showcases the birth and history of American pop music, as well as an exhibition of Jimi Hendrix's work. The experience center on the 3rd floor is a very popular place, where you can try playing guitar, drums, keyboards, DJ turntables, and create your own songs. Another showcase focuses on the history of the guitar from the early 1930s, including earlier demonstrations of electric guitars. 2. Musical instrument sculpture "ifVIwasXI" As soon as you enter the museum, you can see the giant musical instrument sculpture "ifVIwasXI". Before you see it, you may not be able to imagine that the stack of countless musical instruments stretches to the top, and what kind of excitement bursts out.
