Explore an array of music-listening technology—from the record player to the MP3 player—in this collaborative, interactive program. Students will be challenged to think critically as they make observations, compare and contrast, and eventually discover how and why this technology has changed over time. This program connects music to the devices on which it has been played, providing a powerful look at the intersection of history, art, and technology. Optional guided or self-guided Museum tours will be available after this program. Grades 3–8. Requires advance registration. While space is limited, a minimum number of students is required for this program to take place. $10 per family for Family-level Museum members. $15 per family for non-members.
