Time Out says

What if you could feel sound before you ever heard it? Feel the Sound is the Barbican’s bold new exhibition that reimagines how we experience music and noise. From basslines rumbling through underground car parks to moments of total silence that still manage to move you, this isn’t your typical gallery trip. It’s immersive, playful and packed with sensory surprises – and somewhere along the way, you might just discover your inner symphony.

Produced by the Barbican, co-produced by Mon Takanawa: The Museum of Narratives, Tokyo, Japan. 

Feel the Sound is sponsored by Destination Partner: Culture Mile BID and Audio Partner d&b audiotechnik with additional support from the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation and the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation.
