While several hundred objects from MOPOP’s collection are on display at any one time in the museum, more than 85,000 pieces are under our care.
MOPOP’s permanent collection — much of which is stored in a physical “vault” — spans the breadth of the pop culture canon and features one of the finest assemblages of popular music-related artifacts in existence.
We invite you to ignite your pop culture curiosity through our Online Collection Vault. This virtual space showcases a selection of objects from our permanent collection, handpicked by our Curators. Our Curatorial and Collections staff will continuously add new objects and content areas, with the ultimate goal of presenting more of our permanent collection to the public as an educational resource.

Popular culture stems from the creative output of the human experience. MOPOP’s permanent collection includes materials that may contain mature themes, explicit language, and imagery that could be disturbing to some audiences. These items reflect the diverse and evolving nature of pop culture, and while they offer valuable insights and historical context, they may also portray violence, substance use, sexual content, and other adult themes.
