MusikWelten
In the organizer's words:
From ancient American whistling vessels and fire dance masks from Papua New Guinea to a completely analog recording studio from the 1980s - the atmospheric "MusicWorlds" exhibition creates a sensory approach to the human phenomenon of music with a wealth of unique instruments and objects from different eras and regions. In the individual thematic areas of communication, community, movement and transformation, the focus is on people and their relationship to music.
Music has always served as a means of communicating with spirits, deities and also with nature. Looking at the temple chants of Asia, the monastic communities of Europe or the musical ceremonial at courts around the world, the community-building effect stands out. Since the beginning of music, however, it has also been closely linked to movement and dance. Last but not least, music has the power to transform people and transport them into other realms of consciousness - whether in the form of shamanistic rituals or contemporary trance experiences.
However, the exhibition not only offers interesting facts about music, but also makes it possible to experience it at first hand with the help of an audio guide through surprising listening experiences and unusual stagings. Music from Africa, India, the Far East and ancient America is made more comprehensible by juxtaposing it with related sound experiences in rock, pop and classical music.
The exhibition is based on the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums' important collection of musical instruments, comprising over 1600 European and non-European instruments. Among other things, it contains the largest collection of old American musical instruments outside the American continent. It was donated to the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums by Dieter and Evamaria Freudenberg.
