About The British Music

Experience

Our purpose is to advance the education and appreciation of the art,

history and science of music in Britain through our unrivalled collection and full programme of public and educational

workshops, lectures, master-classes

and concerts.

The British Music Experience enables visitors to trace musical trends through the decades, learn about music's influence on art, fashion and politics and allows visitors to download music from

the British Music Experience archive.

For the genuine musical experience,

members of the public can visit the Gibson Interactive Studio, a fully integrated space within the British Music Experience where they can play various Gibson guitars, Slingerland Drums, pianos, mixing desks and have

a go on in the Sennheiser Vocal Booth.

The British Music Experience uses Radio-frequency identification (RFID)

technology throughout the museum.

Traditional tickets are replaced by a Smarticket which allows visitors to activate the interactive elements of the museum and also to register further interest in specific British Music Experience features. Visitors can then

visit www.britishmusicexperience. com to discover more about the parts of the museum they want to learn

more about.

The British Music Experience is a registered not-for-profit charity.

Registered Charity No. 1125752.
