## Notice

The Musical Playground (working title) will encourage visitors to get hands on and produce music together. They will learn that we are all musical - through experimentation and play, anyone can create new music. The creative commission will be a multi-user, interactive sound sculpture. The exhibit should be fun and accessible for a range of visitors - especially those in family groups. It will be the centre piece of Section 1 of the exhibition, which focuses on our innate desire to make music and how we continually push the limits of what's musically possible.
