What's On: Sounds Amazing

 Sounds Amazing

Sounds Amazing is a hands-on exploration of sound and music.
This exhibition comes from the same people that created the widely acclaimed Body in Action exhibition which delighted nearly 30,000 people. A feature of this exhibition will be the programme of live music we are putting together each weekend of the exhibition. By popular demand families will be able to buy a season ticket and come back as often as they like. The exhibition opened during the Arts Festival on the 23rd of October 2009 and closes on Waitangi weekend 2010. We have some special treats in mind so 'stay tuned' to our email newsletters and to our media partners for this exhibition - Classic Hits FM.
