History

2025
Music Around the World

Pop-Up Music Gallery

The format becomes itinerant: we embark on a national tour with the theme Music Around the World, in partnership with NEPI Rockcastle. The exhibition travels to six cities — Bucharest, Ploiești, Constanța, Timișoara, Craiova, and Sibiu — while preserving its interactive structure and core pillars.

That same year, Music Gallery establishes its home in Cluj-Napoca.

2024
The Behind-the-Scenes of Music Open to the Public

Backstage Pass

The Backstage Pass theme opened the doors to the behind-the-scenes world of music: the life of artists, invisible roles, the pressures of creation, and the socio-political context surrounding music. For the first time in a local museum space, we integrated a listening bar alongside guided tours, an audio equipment fair, concerts, and workshops.

2023
a new way to discover music

Music Gallery Debut

Opened in March 2023 at the Muzeul de Artă Cluj-Napoca, the exhibition proposed a new way of discovering music over the course of a month, complemented by concerts and workshops (guitar, piano, percussion) for both children and adults. The project was later presented for another month at Palatul Braunstein in Iași.
Awards: 2 distinctions at the Romanian PR Award (“Arts and Culture” and “Experiential Marketing”).
