Come to the launch of ‘Play, Pause, Rewind’, the first exhibition created by St Albans Museums Youth Forum, on Saturday 27 April at the Museum of St Albans.
The exhibition looks at whether the type of music you listen to affects the way you dress, think, or behave. The launch event runs from 12 noon to 3pm at the museum in Hatfield Road. There will be an opportunity to explore the exhibition, listen to or play some music.
The exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to examine their own taste in music and what it does or doesn’t say about them. Visitors will also be able to contribute to, interact with and even change aspects of the exhibition.
In addition, ‘Play, Pause, Rewind’ will highlight the way people are buying and listening to music is changing and people who have influenced the development of music.
If you are unable to make the launch event, you can see the exhibition at a later date as it runs until Sunday 12 May.
Sam McKenzie, aged 15 years old and a member of the Youth Forum, said: "We have worked incredibly hard on this exhibition and a lot of time and effort has gone into it. We hope that visitors to the exhibition can get an idea of how varied the people of St Albans are in terms of their music tastes. We also hope that people will think about their own preferences and explore, through the exhibition, the music that other people like.”
Councillor Mike Wakely, Portfolio Holder for Sports, Leisure and Heritage for St Albans City and District Council, said: “The St Albans Museums Youth Forum has done a brilliant job in producing this great exhibition. Come along to find out and enjoy the different kinds of music that people are listening to in the District.”
If you are aged 14-19 years old and are interested in becoming involved in the Youth Forum, then come along to one of the group’s monthly meetings. The next meeting will take place on Thursday May 2 at Verulamium Museum from 6.30pm to 8.30pm.
