A museum dedicated to the life and impact of Tupac Shakur is coming to Los Angeles.
Next year, “Tupac Shakur. Wake Me When I’m Free” is touching down in Los Angeles for a limited time only. The museum, which will explore Tupac’s life, music and impact, is a collaborative project created with the help of Shakur’s estate. Deadline reports the project took years to make and launch.
“Tupac Shakur. Wake Me When I’m Free” – its name from a passage from the album The Rose That Grew From Concrete, Volume 1 – is described as a “fully immersive, thought-provoking experience that explores the life and legacy of the acclaimed artist and activist.” The website says the exhibit “leverages technology, contemporary art and never before seen artifacts from Tupac’s personal archives.”
It goes on to say that the museum 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.”
The museum will be located in downtown Los Angeles at The Canvas at L.A. Live. The museum will reportedly travel around the country, with dates to be announced at some point later on. Those interested can get their tickets at wakemewhenimfree.com starting Nov. 12 at 10 a.m. Pre-sale tickets are also available online. The museum will open up to visitors Jan. 21.
Unfortunately, only kids who are over 14 will be able to attend, as the exhibit notes a “sensory warning” due to the museum featuring “strobe lighting effects, simulated gunfire and sudden loud noises.”
