Going to see Doja Cat in Seattle this Thursday? 👀 Before you hit the concert, check out this piece of pop culture history in MOPOP’s Styled by the Streets: Black Women in Hip-Hop Fashion exhibition!

Doja Cat’s bold, futuristic style connects to a broader creative tradition known as Afrofuturism: a movement that blends Black culture, science fiction, technology, and visionary design to imagine new futures. Across music, art, and fashion, Afrofuturism challenges conventions and creates space for Black artists to reimagine what’s possible.

Set a waypoint for celebrations.

This year, we're proud to honor at the 2026 Icons of Pop Culture Gala for its groundbreaking impact on gaming and interactive storytelling.

Since its debut, Halo has transported players to a richly imagined sci-fi universe where every mission and battle became part of a shared experience. Following the legendary Master Chief and his companion Cortana on their journey to save humanity from an alien alliance and overwhelming odds, Halo transformed first-person shooters into cinematic adventures built around strategy, storytelling, and community.

Across games, books, live action and animated series, and beyond, Halo’s legacy continues to expand what storytelling in gaming can be: immersive, cinematic, and deeply connected to community.

Join us on October 22 as we celebrate Halo’s lasting legacy alongside this year's Icons of Pop Culture Gala honorees.

Fashion is at its best when it refuses to play by the rules. ✨

This year, we're proud to honor Jeremy Scott Jeremy SCOTT at the 2026 Icons of Pop Culture Gala for his fearless creativity and lasting impact on fashion.

His designs have been worn by cultural icons including Madonna, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Lady Gaga.

With a career defined by imagination and individuality, Jeremy Scott has inspired a generation of designers and creatives to embrace self-expression, challenge convention, and never take fashion too seriously.

Why spend Halloween on Earth when you could spend it at MOPOP? 👽🛸

On Halloween night, Fashionably Undead brings an outer space invasion to the museum with dancing, food and drinks, costumes, and plenty of extraterrestrial mischief. Think 1950s sci-fi meets Halloween night, with flying saucers overhead and galactic glam on the dance floor.
