The Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) is a history museum in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, United States. It is the largest private heritage organization in Washington state, maintaining a collection of nearly four million artifacts, photographs, and archival materials primarily focusing on Seattle and the greater Puget Sound region. A portion of this collection (roughly 2% at any given time) is on display in the museum's galleries at the historic Naval Reserve Armory in Lake Union Park. MOHAI's highly facilitated, hands-on field trip programs use authentic historic materials to promote teamwork, creativity, communication, visual literacy, critical thinking, observation, and problem-solving skills.
Weird, jingoistic vibes. The exhibits were too surface-level to engage with much. My favourite exhibits were a rowing boat and parts of the native plants exhibit Full review by Voyager02020926620

Hi there, There are multiple, easy parking options around the museum. You can park at the ACG lot (west of the museum) for $5 with validation, which can be obtained at MOHAI's admission desk. There are also multiple city lots (on Valley St. between Westlake Ave. and Boren Ave.) around the museum that have various rates for parking on the weekend that are substantially less than weekdays (usually around $5 for 10 hours). The museum itself also has ADA parking available directly next to the building. It is difficult to say how busy the parking will be on a Sunday. That said, our visitors generally do not have problems because of the multiple options available. You can view more information about parking at MOHAI on our website. Please let me know if you have any additional questions! We're looking forward to welcoming you to the museum. Thanks, Lauren
