The here-to-stay exhibition debuted just in time for Valentine's Weekend, meaning you and your honey can go duet at one of 17 interactive music-making stations.
"From producing beats and mixing loops, to performing on stage with professional instruments, visitors can step into roles like singer, producer, or DJ and experience the joy of music creation," shares the museum team.
"The heart of 'Sonic Playground' is the Electric Forest, a mesmerizing blend of music, lights, and technology that epitomizes the intersection of art and technology," reveals the exhibit's online summary.
"Visitors interact with 16 immersive columns of light and sound that respond to gestures, altering the sound and intensity of an original 19-minute composition by Shaun Chasin and allowing visitors to create their own music symphonies through movement."
The space is a roomy 3,000 feet, so think of this powerful and creative experience as your own studio for an hour, a place where you can vocal it up, jam it out, and connect with the act of uplifting tune-makery.
How to jump into this aural and awesome joy?
Your Grammy Museum admission is all that's required to enter the Sonic Playground, no wristband, VIP pass, or fancy lanyard needed.
