The 3,000-square-foot Seattle NFT Museum, claims to be the first art museum and gallery dedicated solely to crypto art. It follows many of the established institutions’ practices for a museum focused on new and evolving technology. It looks like any other white cube on the inside, with wall literature and artwork displayed on high-resolution screens installed on the walls.
Increased and improved knowledge of NFTs is part of the museum’s aim. The wall letters serve as explanations for those who want to learn more about blockchain art, and personnel are said to be on hand to answer questions.
There are also the vibrant 3D environments created by Neon Saltwater, who creates bizarre interior locations such as rainbow-hued bedrooms.
Photographs by Charles Peterson, who documented the grunge movement in Seattle and other regions of the Pacific Northwest in the late 1980s and early 1990s, are also on display at the museum. His art includes black and white pictures of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Nirvana gigs.
NFT collector Aaron Bird has lent works from his collection to the museum, including CryptoPunks artworks by Larva Labs and generative art by Tyler Hobbs and Snowfro. Jennifer Wong, co-founder of the Seattle NFT Museum, stated the museum’s goals in a statement on the museum’s website. “We wanted to create a space to serve the NFT community while also helping to establish Seattle as a leader in NFT and blockchain innovation,” she wrote. “We’re not specialists, and we’re here to learn everything we can.” That is why, in order to keep growing the vision, we rely on the comments and support of NFT aficionados.”
