Dear All,

The Pitt Rivers Museum (PRM) has been collecting music, sound and instruments for over 100 years. ‘Sound Galleries’ is a series of ongoing events and films designed to explore the role of sound, listening and performance in cultures. The galleries of the Museum are plunged into darkness and then bathed in music, sound and roving performances. Visitors move through the galleries exploring the spaces by torchlight.
