Current Exhibit

  From the Jazz Age to Streaming: The Soundtrack of the 20s/20s

 

From the Jazz Age to Streaming: The Soundtrack of the 20s-20s juxtaposes the popular music and pop culture of the 1920s and the 2020s in terms of how music has been recorded, marketed, purchased and experienced and how the music has reflected the social disparities and other trends of its time.

  

Visitors can look forward to learning about featured artists from Louis Armstrong and Cole Porter to Taylor Swift and Lizzo, viewing "Over the Rainbow" composer Harlen Arlen's personal piano, and engaging with interactive touchscreens to experience the music of the two decades.
