View of Downtown Seattle from Gasworks Park

Major Exhibits

A series of Seattle-area museum exhibits will showcase the history and legacy of the A-Y-P, each presenting a different perspective on this pivotal moment in local history.

These major exhibits will provide an opportunity for every resident, school child and visitor to Seattle to learn about the A-Y-P at a variety of venues and from a variety of views.

The Nordic Heritage Museum will share its film of the A-Y-P Viking Ship as well as stories about the Scandinavian pioneers in Seattle who planned the fair.

MOHAI will exhibit its collection of photographs by the fair’s official photographer, pairing photographs of buildings with architectural drawings. Another exhibition will highlight the Arts and Crafts Movement that had thoroughly captured the minds of Pacific Northwest homeowners in 1909.

The Washington State Historical Museum in Tacoma will feature the 1909 climb of Mt. Rainier and explore the suffragists trip to the A-Y-P.

More details about these exhibits will be added as they become available.
