This panel brings together three directors of pioneering institutions in music exhibition-making: Jade Bouchemit (Musée de la Musique – Philharmonie de Paris), Márton Horn (House of Music Hungary, Budapest), and Simon Posch (Haus der Musik, Vienna). Each will begin with a short case study highlighting different approaches to storytelling and interactivity in exhibitions where music is the central theme.

The presentations will lead into a dialogue between the speakers on curatorial strategies — offering audiences new ways of connecting with classical music and with music of all genres. This will be followed by a conversation with the audience, focusing on how music museums can act as gateways to deeper and more inclusive forms of musical engagement.
