Seattle: Nirvana, in context
Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses, the massive new exhibition at EMP, is the product of curator Jacob McMurray's vision: put the biggest band of the early 90’s in context with the Pacific Northwest music scene of about the same period. No grunge-era artifacts, no flannel shirts in display cases. McMurray went after the ambience of the scene in surprising ways. More at seattlepi.com

Seattle: Nirvana, in retro
In three years Nirvana blindsided the worlds of rock music and popular culture. The group and its role in cultivating the grunge scene will be the focus of "Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses," an exhibition that opens at the Experience Music Project in Seattle next April 16th. Already being hailed as the most comprehensive of its kind, the exhibition will include 200 band artifacts and unseen photos of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl back in the day, before the deluge, while the wave was still building.
