Temporary installations for rotating exhibitions
The MMM can take pretty much any topic you can think of and transform it into sound.
In collaboration with museums, science centers or agencies, we tailor basic sound concepts to accompany a preset topic. The implementation of this idea is then braided into the existing workflow and general design process of the exhibition as seamlessly as possible.
