Visit our collection of original art. Discover personal items and memorabilia from some of the greatest names and moments in music history. Explore how music connects to everyday ritual, war and worship, and the cultural costumery of the world. Greece, Egypt, Africa, China, Indonesia, the early civilizations of the Americas and Australia, European classical traditions, folk and modern musics... it's all waiting to be found. Strange AND True Find out how films are scored, how music is used in theater, how pop videos are made. Hear how recorded sound has progressed from Edison to Internet. Let posters and album artwork take you to earlier eras of opera concerts and R&B singles. Examine visiting exhibits from around the world, Alabama to Zambia. (Captivated by our fresh perspectives and interactive technologies, you probably won't even notice that everything is historically accurate and educational!) Grab a headset. Dive in. Grab your headset. It's wireless. (You won't have to juggle cassettes, CDs, or a heavy tech-gadget.) Approach the display of the ancient traditions of Jerusalem, and your ears fill with the music and sounds of daily life from long ago and far away. Move to the harpsichord of Bach's time, and it springs to life with some of your favorite music of that era - or something unfamiliar that we predict you will enjoy. As you explore the Gallery, your headset is your personal tour guide, directing you through the various exhibits and playing music samples. Your tour will be customized to your language, pace, age, musical knowledge and previous Museum experiences. (Friendly humans also on hand to demonstrate and explain whatever you wish!) Wait - the headset knows who I am?!? Welcome to the 21st century. As our MusicMind computer learns about you and your tastes, it can recommend the exhibits and experiences that would interest you most. We do this by building you a personal information bank based on your feedback, your previous visits, and even the interactions you have with us over the Internet before you visit the Museum. |
