The First-Ever IRL NFT Museum To Open in Seattle

Recently, it became known that NFT art pieces will acquire a unique place to be disposed physically, namely a real-life NFT museum in Seatle.

 

The first-of-its-kind crypto art museum grand opening is scheduled for January 14, 2022, in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. The museum will offer an offline space for visitors to interact with NFTs and learn about the technology and artists that make them possible. A section of it will also be dedicated to explaining the fundamentals of NFT technology and its permanent impact on art.

Jennifer Wong and Peter Hamilton, the museum founders, were united by a mission to bring physical interaction to the NFT art world. The offline space will feature an array of exhibits related to NFTs, which will include an emphasis on promoting artwork from Seattle-based artists.

An impressive collection of art pieces from Aaron Bird’s extensive NFT collection are being lent to the museum, which will include works from the Chromie Squiggle series by Erick Calderon, as well as Larva Labs’ CryptoPunks. Artwork from artists such as Blake Kathryn, Neon Saltwater, and Charles Peterson will also be exhibited.

The museum will still include virtual elements, with Hamilton and Wong sending QR codes to visitors so they can access various interactive online platforms.
