Welcome to hipmuseum.com. A Museum After Dark is dedicated to the people, places and poetry found
in the music of The Tragically Hip. The museum features every Hip song, the stories which inspired many of them,
and over 350 lyric references drawn from all the albums and side projects. It is also home to the definitive list of
Unreleased Material and some of your Hipstories. Individual songs and references are displayed in the
One Stop Reference Shop and Hip Directory, while full length features can be found in the Exhibit Hall.

"They are the musical chroniclers of our times"
-Peter Mansbridge, October 21, 2001

"The Canadiana references became guide posts into a song's depths, the resulting marriage of language
and music became an invigorating experience that had never been so directly aimed at young Canadians."
-Have Not Been The Same, 2001
