Grand opening festival: MUSIC!

On Sunday, July 5th, we are opening MUSIC! Move. Feel. Connect. with a free festival for the whole family. Inside the museum, the dome theater, and out in the garden, you’ll discover how music brings people together, inspires, and gets them moving.

The opening festival is free to attend and serves as the grand launch of the new interactive exhibition MUSIC! Move. Feel. Connect. From live music and workshops to films, food trucks, and the brand-new exhibition, there’s something exciting happening all day.
