DIVE INTO THE SONIC SOUP
Listen: Making Sense of
Sound, a major new
5000-square-foot Exploratorium exhibition, three years in
the making, features over fifty-five interactive exhibits,
forty of them brand new. This exhibition is a place to
listen as a deer does when you try on alternative ears and
learn the ways the shape and orientation of an animal’s ears
affects the sounds it hears. Or, like a snake, listen with
your teeth and jawbone – turns out you don’t even need ears
to listen at all! Navigate an underground train with a blind
person as your guide. Swap the soundtracks of well-known
movies to uncover the powerful influence of sound in
creating mood. Listen combines the active,
engaging and dramatic experiences for which the
Exploratorium is famous, such as a jukebox of very unusual
music, or a 1950’s “eavesdropping” hairdryer hood, with far
more contemplative sound environments. Listen: Making
Sense of Sound is included in the price of admission
to the Exploratorium.
