NEWS RELEASE
MUSEUMS OF BURLINGTON
*****************************
Joseph Brant Museum is pleased to announce a new special exhibition opening. Sound, Just Sound, is a production of the Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science with the contribution of Heritage Canada and the Quebec Ministry of Culture and Communications. The exhibition will be on view from Nov. 14, 2023 to March 30, 2024.

Any impact creates vibrations in the air that translates into sound. The impact of the wind on leaves, the air flowing from our lungs on our vocal cords, a door closing, the shuffle of ants moving, the electronic impulses of a bell. Sound waves are everywhere. This exhibition is an immersive experience. Visitors will experience sounds with all their senses. See them, through high speed cameras and measuring devices; touch them, by playing with musical instruments and specialized acoustic materials; feel them, through the science of psychoacoustics.

“The exhibition is broken down into themes that examine the science of sound. There are interactive games and experiments that are fun for people of all ages" says Curator, Jessica Benjak-Waterous.

Visitors can also add a film screening to their Museum visit on select Saturday afternoons. “Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound” reveals the hidden power of sound in cinema, introduces us to the unsung heroes who create it, and features insights from legendary directors with whom they collaborate. The film will be showing on Dec. 2, Jan. 13, Feb. 10, and March 2. The film begins at 1 p.m. and is 1 hour 34 minutes long. Learn more about this award winning film here.
