Sound Art Museum

Sound Art Museum is an institution that focuses on sound. Based in Beijing, China, we are operated by the Beijing Songzhuang Art Development Foundation, a registered non-profit charity. Our mission is to create a platform that places cross-disciplinary practice at the center of our activities. Rather than focusing on a location, era, or theme, Sound Art Museum explores a medium – sound. Sound is all around us all the time and has a profound effect on our lives. Art, natural sciences, linguistics, and many other professions work with sound, but mostly independently of each other; our aim is to create projects that bring people together, so an ecology of collaborative projects can be generated and grown over time. By fostering cutting-edge content, Sound Art Museum bridges traditional and contemporary culture and engages otherwise disparate communities. As sound is a flexible and reproducible medium, it means many of our projects can easily be shared across China and around the world.
