Press & reviews
We will go back again. Many times. Often. This exhibition is the best thing that has happened in Hungary on this front in the last twenty years.
András Stumpf, Valasz Onlineon the permanent exhibition at the House of Music Hungary, Budapest
This is the coolest place for anyone interested in music. The interactive sound exhibition is just so amazing that you completely forget about time.
Judit S., Google Reviewon the permanent exhibition at House of Music Hungary, Budapest
Wherever you walk, turn or stop, your high-tech headset detects it and changes the content in your ears. You can see the exhibition without headphones, of course, but that would deprive you of the whole experience.
Zsanett Fürdős, We Love Budapeston the permanent exhibition at the House of Music Hungary, Budapest
What a fantastic place. Journey through the history of music with interactive exhibits using cutting-edge technology.
Nigel G., Google Reviewon the permanent exhibition at House of Music Hungary, Budapest
The people in the exhibition space stroll, gently guided by intuition and curiosity, through a technically sophisticated, three-dimensional world of sound. Each museum guest creates their own acoustic kaleidoscope.
Alois Feusi, Neue Züricher Zeitungon "Sounds of Silence" at the Museum of Communication, Bern
The sound follows the listeners, surrounds them from all sides and lets them immerse themselves completely in digital soundscapes.
Janina Poesch, PLOT Magazinon "[sound] Listening to the World" at the Humboldt Box, Berlin
In an inventive, effective twist, Tresor 31 is held together with a soundscape of ambient techno and spoken audio. As an extra cool feature, the headset's Bluetooth syncs to each film work as you approach it, and between works switches seamlessly back to techno.
Eliza Levinson, Resident Advisoron "Tresor 31: Techno, Berlin und die große Freiheit" at Kraftwerk, Berlin
Was honestly one of the most incredible experiences I've had in any sort of exhibit.
Ciaran, Google Reviewon "Tresor 31: Techno, Berlin und die große Freiheit" at Kraftwerk, Berlin
A new experience arises. An intense, direct listening experience. We haven't been able to hear like that in a long time. The freedom of movement turns the experience into an adventure.
Ursula Drees, Plus Insight on "Sonic Wildness" at the Ars Electronica Festival 2016, Linz
Wow! Just wow! It was a remarkable experience, for me a must-see in Dresden. The place is great for both children and adults.
Julia R., Google Reviewon Festung Xperience, Dresden
