Tupac Museum To Open In Los Angeles With Hip-Hop Icon’s Estate’s Approval
In January, a limited-run immersive museum dedicated to the late musician Tupac Shakur’s life, music, and legacy will open in Los Angeles. It was made in partnership with the estate of Assata Shakur. According to the exhibit’s website, additional North American cities and dates will be revealed later.
“Tupac Shakur,” says the narrator. The premiere of “Wake Me When I’m Free” is set for January 21 in downtown Los Angeles. Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Nov. 12 at wakemewhenimfree.com. Pre-sale tickets are available to those who sign up online.
“A fully immersive, thought-provoking experience that explores the life and legacy of the famed artist and activist,” the exhibit’s description says. It’s also reserved for children over the age of 14 and comes with a “sensory warning” because of “strobe lighting effects, simulated gunshots, and unexpected loud noises.”
The exhibit “leverages technology, modern art, and never-before-seen memorabilia from Tupac’s personal vaults,” according to the website.
The exhibition will “delve into the greater meaning of his activism, music, and revolutionary art, as the exhibit educates and enlightens attendees through a labyrinth of emotions, as they take this journey through his extraordinary life.”
