Multisensory Art Cart: Hear

We’re all ears! Are you? As part of the Multisensory Art Cart, we invite you to find an artwork that inspires you to think about sound. You can use this curated audio playlist to accompany your journey through the AGO!

Spend a few moments listening to the sounds in the playlist as you spend time with the artwork and consider:

  • Do the sounds change the artwork?
  • How does the audio affect your experience of looking at art?
  • Did you discover anything new about the artwork?
