This is The EMP museum (Experience Music Project) in Seattle. It was founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, and opened its doors in 2000. 

And the Seattle Public Library´s Central Library in Seattle. 11 story high (56 metres). The glass and steel building was opened to the public in May 2004.
