AUSTIN, Texas — On one wall in the South Austin Museum of Popular Culture – also known as SouthPop – you'll find a music poster from Willie Nelson's first concert at the Armadillo World Headquarters.
And that's not the only past treasure that SouthPop has to offer. The museum collects, preserves and exhibits vintage posters and live music memorabilia to educate future generations on the rich and unique culture that makes Austin the "live music capital of the world."
The founders of the museum all previously worked in the music industry in one way or another and began collecting music posters in the '60s. They opened SouthPop in 2004, and they feature multiple exhibits each year.
Their current exhibit features the works of Micael Priest, a prolific poster artist from the '70s to the mid-2000s. You can see his work until June 15.

The South Austin Museum of Popular Culture informs visitors of Austin's musical past, but it also supplies a sense of nostalgia for some. People will see a poster from a concert they went to, and it will bring back memories of attending.
The outside of SouthPop features a memorial wall dedicated to those who have assisted in making Austin's culture what it is today.
