Music was created by the Freeman Foundation Asian Culture Exhibit Series in collaboration with the Association of Children’s Museums and the Fredda Turner Durham Children’s Museum. The tour of Music is presented by Minnesota Children’s Museum.

“The Music exhibit is such a special way for families to connect and play together. Watching parents and kids explore the rhythms and instruments of Chinese, Japanese and Korean cultures as a team is so rewarding. It’s all about creating moments of joy, learning and togetherness—something that means so much to our community.”
