When world-renowned architect Frank O. Gehry designed the building, he was inspired to create a structure that evoked the rock 'n’ roll experience without being too literal. He purchased several electric guitars, sliced them into pieces, and used them as structural elements for an early model design. Visitors can still see the influence of the instrument in the museum’s wildly undulating, brightly colored façade. Since opening in 2000, guest interest in MoPOP’s unique architecture has not waned.
Architecture Tour Guide volunteers will share more about the design process and the building’s unique features while revealing untold stories. This is an excellent volunteer position for any fan of design that enjoys sharing their enthusiasm with the public.
