July 18, 2021
Beginning Thursday, July 22, 2021, a new temporary small musical exhibit will be on display and open for play at aMuse’um Children’s Museum. aMuse’um was selected by the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM) to pilot a prototype section of the Freeman Foundation Asian Culture Exhibit Series (FFACES), an educational exhibit that promotes Asian cultural understanding among families in America.
The exhibit will be on display for two to three weeks in an effort to provide visitors with a broader multicultural experience and to gather feedback focused on further developing the program and enhancing the exhibit experience. aMuse’um will be compensated for their participation.
“Being selected to take part in this program provides an excellent opportunity for the museum to offer a culturally-diverse family experience in Maury County, in addition to exposing young children to something they may not be familiar with,” aMuse’um Executive Director Maeghan Wall said.
Musical instruments that will be showcased and available for play include: Tuned Tone Blocks with soft playing mallets, a Korean Janggu Drum with mallets and large and small Wooden Frog Tone Blocks with playing sticks. In addition to the instruments, ribbon sticks will be available for creative expression along with visual learning aids. Caregivers and children are encouraged to leave their feedback on provided survey forms.
The FFACES exhibit will be available at no additional charge with the purchase of a day pass or membership entry. Daily admission is $10 per child with one free adult admitted per child. The joyful mission of aMuse'um is to spark unbridled learning for young children from all backgrounds through play. The nonprofit aims to deliver a children's museum experience that inspires all and encourages visitors to be thinkers, learners and creators and in the process, enhances quality of life in the broader small town experience.
