Explore how music shapes our lives in the Science Museum's new interactive exhibition.

What is it about music that drives us to create, perform and connect with others? This family-friendly experience will delve into the science behind the sounds and give you a chance to hear, interact with, and even make your own tunes.

Learn about the groundbreaking MiMU Gloves made famous by artists like Ariana Grande, that control music through on-stage gestures, and discover some weird and wonderful instruments like the Pyrophone - an organ powered by flames!

Play with beats, melodies and harmonies in the musical playground... see if you can tell the difference between songs written by humans and machines... and meet Haile, the musical robot that can play alongside human musicians.
