We’re excited to announce that the Moogseum is now offering visitors an additional layer of exhibit content in the form of audio tours! This supplemental narration by Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation, is designed to accompany existing Moogseum exhibits and provide deeper context for the information they present. The audio tour extra is available for $5.00 with any ticket purchase.

The narration is easily accessed by just using your smartphone! Once connected to a local server, your Moogseum host will provide a QR code for you to scan, taking you to a custom interface that streams eight separate audio files. If you’re interested in an audio tour, you’re invited to bring your own earbuds. We also can provide use of a set of noise-canceling headphones.

Once you’ve completed your Moogseum audio tour, you’re welcome to re-enter the Moogseum to explore any interactive exhibits that may include their own audio. You’re also invited to pause the audio tour as desired to interact with any exhibit while exploring.

“There’s so much information tucked into all of the Moogseum’s one-of-a-kind exhibits,” said Michelle Moog-Koussa. “It’s exciting to be able to lend insights and details that a visitor may not typically glean from the self-guided tour. Every piece of information helps give a greater understanding about the depth and breadth of the Moog legacy.”

Exhibits accompanied by the audio tour are the Bob Moog Timeline, a detailed account of Bob’s life and career; the Leon Theremin exhibit, exploring the history of the famed hands-free instrument and its inventor; Patching Sound, an exhibit focusing on modular, patchable synthesizers; Bob’s Connection to Asheville, where he spent the last 25 years of his life; the Timeline of Synthesis, exploring a variety of synthesizers from varying manufacturers; Bob’s Workbench, a recreation of Bob Moog’s actual work area; and Hands-On Synthesis, a collection of playable synthesizers.

Advance tickets are available to purchase online. Guests are also invited to book group tours for special events. In addition, the Moogseum offers discounted field trip packages.
