The Seattle NFT Museum is the first museum entirely dedicated to the exhibition of NFTs, featuring works and collections from artists from around the world.
Seattle NFT Museum aims to educate its visitors about the importance and usefulness of this type of digital assets, while enjoying the great diversity of artistic displays.

Seattle NFT Museum, a different environment for digital art
Unlike many virtual galleries, the Seattle NFT Museum has physical installations and a large number of screens, where viewers can enjoy the digital works in high quality.
The collections exhibited at the Seattle NFT Museum are changed periodically, allowing diverse local and foreign artists to present their works and make them known within the community.
For those enthusiasts who would like a copy of the pieces, the Seattle NFT Museum has a sales service, much like a traditional museum souvenir store, where some works can be printed to take home.
Other physical pieces are available for purchase online, as well as museum promotional materials, all of which are shipped free of charge to destinations within the United States.
A sustainable museum
In addition to its souvenir store, the Seattle NFT Museum has an economic sustainability model that will allow it to endure over time.
Currently, it offers access to visitors Monday through Sunday at various times. The current cost of each ticket is $15 USD.
Tickets can be purchased in advance through its website, reserving the visit well in advance.
It also has a membership mode, with the following benefits:
- Exclusive access to new collections.
- Special launch events
- An indefinite number of visits
- Workshops and talks
The membership, for the moment, is valid for one year. Regardless of the start date, it ends on December 31, 2022.
Who is behind the Seattle NFT Museum?
To keep this project on its feet, it requires a large multidisciplinary team, which is in charge of marketing, maintenance, curators, contact and administration.
However, the heads behind the Seattle NFT Museum are Jennifer Wong and Peter Hamilton, art lovers in different modalities. Hamilton and Wong are currently the lead curators and organizers of the project.
The idea emerged during the explosive popularity of the NFT in mid-2021, but is formally conceived in December, to open its doors in January 2022.
