What is Sounds of Changes?

Sound of Changes is a cooperation between six museums in Europe.

What does Sounds of Changes do?

Society is changing rapidly. When our time is described in the history books it will surely be compared with the industrial revolution.

With the help of project Sounds of Changes we wish to document a portion of this rapid change, namely the change in the acoustic landscape. How does today’s world sound? By collecting today’s sounds and soundscapes, we create a reference material that can be used for historical comparisons and descriptions.

Sound of Changes is financed by the museums (61 %) and the European Union, Culture 2000 (39 %) and the turnover for the two years project is 512 000 €.
