Seattle NFT Museum marks its public opening on Thursday with the claim that it is the first art museum and gallery to dedicate its programming to crypto art. The 3,000-square-foot museum looks like any white cube, with wall texts and works displayed on mounted high-resolution screens. NFTs have been mushrooming online and in the art world ever since Beeple's artwork sold for $69 million at a Christie’s auction in March 2021. The museum has partnered with NFT collector Aaron Bird to lend works from his collection. The Seattle NFT Museum is a great step forward for creators as it provides an outlet to showcase their work and engage with potential buyers. It also shows that there is growing interest in crypto art, which can only mean good things for creators in the future.
