New Gallery Guide coming soon!

frontcover_mockup

We’re thrilled to reveal the cover design for our upcoming Autumn/Winter 2016 edition of our Gallery Guide. This will be a widely expanded guide to reflect our upcoming gallery expansion, which will see the permanent collection galleries displaying more than 100 objects – three times what we currently display now! The new Gallery Guide will contain essays on topics like psithurism, anechoic chambers, and the history of field recording, and will also contain an exclusive first look at the Museum’s physical object collection! Coming soon – watch this space!

But back to the cover! The newly redesigned cover will feature a photograph of a public sculpture that is on display in Zagreb, Croatia. We think it’s quite appropriate, no? We can’t wait to share this exciting new publication with our visitors!
