Update - Sonic Scenery has been extended until August 3!
SEE THROUGH MUSIC!
The Natural History Museum has invited a spectrum of innovative musicians and composers to create music inspired by our collections.
Experience a different perspective as you don headphones and explore the Museum to new sounds by The Sun Ra Arkestra, Ozomatli, Autolux, Nels Cline, Matmos, Stephen Hartke, Nobody, Jon Hassell, Languis and David J. The exhibition is introduced by Esa-Pekka Salonen, Music Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra.
Each composition was commissioned expressly for one of the galleries on the Museum's Level 1. Like the recent Conversations exhibition, Sonic Scenery was developed to provide visitors with an opportunity to find new meaning and relevance in the Museum's collections.
Due to the marvels of modern technology, you are able to choose your own route and pace through the exhibition by one of two ways:
| • |
Rent an audio player, headphones, and guide for $3 (plus Museum admission) at the Natural History Museum from the blue booth by the dueling dinosaurs on level 1. Infrared signals automatically trigger each composition to play upon entering a gallery, allowing you to explore freely without pushing buttons. |
|
| | or |
|
| • |
Order the Sonic Scenery CD and bring the music on your MP3 player with you to the Museum. More information... |
You can also keep track of new developments on our Myspace page.
