SEATTLE, WA – The world’s first permanent NFT art museum has opened in Seattle, with the goal of “pulling back the curtain” on blockchain-based digital art.

NFTs (non-fungible tokens) are a type of digital asset that has recently exploded in popularity, with NFT artworks fetching millions of dollars. NFTs are based on a blockchain, which is a distributed ledger of transactions.

The museum, which debuted on January 14, has been offering a physical space for artists, makers, and collectors to exhibit their NFTs while also educating the public about this relatively new market for digital art.

Jennifer Wong, a co-founder and curator of Seattle NFT Museum, said, “We really understood the significance of being able to look at this type of art in a way where you actually slow down, you notice all the nuances.”
