Museum of History & Industry, known as MOHAI, explores Seattle and the surrounding region through objects, photographs and stories of community life and innovation.
Its home in the historic Lake Union Armory places the museum beside a public waterfront landscape with a strong maritime character.
Museum entry is separate from general access to Lake Union Park. Check current admission, exhibition and holiday information before traveling, and reserve school or large-group visits through the museum. Use the Terry Avenue North visitor address and confirm any special-program arrangements separately from an ordinary gallery visit.
