Tupac museum ‘Wake Me When I’m Free’ comes to LA Live
The iconic Tupac Shakur continues to influence music, pop culture and entertainment.
LOS ANGELES - Controversial or revolutionary, however you perceive the late artist Tupac Shakur, a new immersive museum exhibit will show you the evolution of the man whose life was taken 25 years ago. A new museum, entitled "Wake Me When I'm Free" opens at LA Live Friday.
With exhibits on his childhood, growing up with a mother who was an active Black Panther, to his original works — including notebooks filled with poems and songs in his own handwriting, visitors get a glimpse of Shakur’s heart and mind throughout the exhibit.
Of course, his film roles are also showcased as well as memorabilia never seen before.

"We intentionally created a thought-provoking experience, so it gives context to who Tupac was," said Jeremy Hodges, the exhibit's creative director. "Everyone's going to come in with a preconceived notion of who he was as a person, but when you walk through here you will understand the meaning behind his madness, the meaning behind his words, his poetry, and who he was truly as a revolutionary spirit."
