Unique Audio Experience

In this exhibition, sounds are categorized thematically. Visitors can traverse sound installations representing various aspects of life, such as 'Baby Sounds', 'School Sounds', and 'World Sounds'. One area even celebrates delightful food-related sounds titled 'Tasty Sounds'. Unlike any other exhibition, 'OTO MART' encourages participants to dive into the history of sounds, discover unexpected connections between different audio segments, and gain new perspectives on the audio experience we often take for granted.

The layout promises an engaging journey through sound, leading you from one life stage to another while exploring how sounds help shape our memories and experiences.

Create Your Own Music

One of the most exciting features of 'OTO MART' is the opportunity to compose music using the displayed sounds categorized into six parts: Beat, Bass, Harmony, Lead, Percussion, and FX. Visitors can effortlessly layer these elements to craft their unique music pieces, whether they are seasoned musicians or complete novices.
