What does art sound like?
Created by Olivia Aston Bosworth & Melissa Katzin
This world is full of wonderful sounds. From crunching apples to the hissing steam of a train engine, we have recorded each and every last peep from this planet. Well, all but one: the sound of art. Join us in the High Museum galleries every other Thursday as we capture the quiet, round up the roars, gather the giggles, and make some noise. Help us complete the collection before it’s too late! Your friends, the Sound Collectors.
