This autumn, Music Gallery hits the road in a new and surprising format, hosted inside 6 shopping centers across Romania. Under the theme “Music Around the World,” the exhibition offers an interactive and educational experience where music becomes a cultural guide, a tool for discovery, and a source of emotion.
At the heart of the exhibition lies a large globe-shaped installation featuring 25 listening zones, each representing a country from a different continent. Visitors can plug in a pair of headphones and hear music fragments that reflect the cultural identity of that region—American blues, Pakistani qawwali, Nordic jazz, Romanian doina, or Brazilian bossa nova. The setup invites slow-paced exploration, in a relaxed and welcoming environment.
The experience is completed by 12 curated stories, each showing how a musical genre shaped a culture or captured the spirit of an era. From the griot traditions of West Africa to jazz in Prohibition-era speakeasies, from Japan’s silent listening culture to protest expressed through tango—these stories offer visitors a global perspective on the transformative power of music.
Alongside the thematic content, the exhibition also features piano and drum simulators, vinyl listening stations, and a VR installation showcasing legendary musicians.
In every city on the tour, Music Gallery also includes a special hands-on event: Drum Camp – a vibrant and inclusive music activation where the public is invited to experiment with drums and percussion in a fun, collective format. It’s an energetic and joyful activity that turns rhythm into community—even for those with no musical experience at all.

Participation also comes with a surprise: in each city, visitors can enter a raffle via the SPOT app to win a pair of Meze 99 Classics headphones—renowned for their warm sound and elegant design. At the end of the tour, all entries will automatically be included in a national draw for the grand prize: an Estelio Hi-Fi home audio system—a premium listening setup for those who want to hear music the way the artist intended.
