The Place Where You Go to Listen

One of the museum’s more unique exhibits, The Place Where You Go to Listen is a sound and light installation that changes based on the position of the moon and sun and the vibrations of the Earth measured at seismic stations across Alaska. The brainchild of Grammy and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Luther Adams, this ever-changing colorful musical display is not to be missed.
