Fans of Nirvana fans after the Seattle Museum announces the closure of the emblematic exhibition: “Deep Lapse of Judgment”
The Seattle Pop Culture Museum (MOPOP, a former experience music project) will close their emblematic Nirvana exhibition after a 14 -year race on September 7 – and fans and residents of the city are not satisfied.
“Come as you are – and come soon! The historic Nirvana de Mopop exhibition ends on September 7 after 14 incredible years in Mopop,” the museum on Instagram announced.
Mopop will organize a “farewell celebration” all day on September 6. Participants can participate in a Zine workshop, get a printed t-shirt and enjoy guided tours and performance, as well as a round table.
But if the organizers of the event thought it satisfied the public, they were wrong.
“What a profound judgment among the one who made the decision to close this exhibition,” a person wrote. “Imagine if the Washington National Archives, DC, had decided to put the declaration of independence in storage, not because they had to, but make room for a new exhibition. See how ridiculous it seems?”
“Sometimes things are so important for our collective history that they should never * be * withdrawn from the public display,” they continued. “People around the world go to Seattle for the sole purpose * to see the Nirvana exhibition – it should be really permanent.”
Several others shared that they had trips scheduled for later in September and this year just to see the exhibition in person.
“Bad choice and it manifests on the basis of the comments,” wrote a second person. “I visit this every time in Seattle. You should make it permanent. ”
The Museum’s website notes that the exhibition will be closed to “make room for a future exhibition exploring the myriad of musical scenes and musicians of the North West Pacific through decades and genres.”
Nirvana was formed by Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987 (drummer Dave Grohl joined the group in 1990.)
The group is synonymous with the Grunge scene of Seattle and was credited with having transformed the face of alternative music in the early 1990s. Nirvana signed with DGC Records in 1990 and had an unexpected and almost instant success with their single “Smess Like Teen Spirit” from their 1991 “Nevermind”.
