Washington Governor Jay Inslee Visits MoPOP, Snaps Selfie With Gort the Robot
Even United States governors can't help but try to snap the perfect selfie during a visit to the Museum of Pop Culture.
That much was clear this past week, when Jay Inslee stopped by MoPOP. The Washington state governor was on site at the Seattle nonprofit organization to check out how our museum interprets and celebrates pop culture history. During a museum tour led by MoPOP staff, Inslee stopped just outside the entrance to Infinite Worlds of Science Fiction to take a pic with Gort the robot from The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951).
Showcasing a few artifacts from MoPOP's vault and leading the governor around MoPOP's LEED Gold certified building were Executive Director Alexis Lee, Director of Curatorial, Collections & Exhibits Jacob McMurray, Director of Facilities & Museum Operations James Vegas, and Senior Curator Brooks Peck.
