Sound-museology
Haus der Musik, Vienna
Project design: Robert Hofferer
Situated in downtown Vienna, the former palace of Archduke Charles now houses a museum containing a variety of thematic units in line with the complex functions of the institution. The digitalized archives appearing as a traditional exhibition of music history, the mystic space called Sonosphere meant to offer the exploration of acoustic phenomena and the installation named Brain Opera relying upon visitors’ creativity follow each other storey by storey. The method of exhibition applied in the sound-museum establishes close connections with works of art and exhibited objects as well as with high-tech informational devices in line with the interior design of the building using intensive lights that alternate with dark spaces illuminated in a mystic way.
