MIDDAY MUSIC
At the Museum of Art and Archaeology, ongoing exhibits offer insights into the ancient world, American history and modern innovations.
But once a month, during the lunch hour, guests get a bonus: live music.
Midday Music, a collaboration between the museum and Mizzou’s School of Music, invites a musician to perform as museum visitors explore the various galleries.
“Music trickling through the space might change how you are feeling about what you’re seeing,” Marie Nau Hunter, interim museum director, said.
The space also provides benches for guests to relax and listen.
“Music has the power of transformation,” Juliana Vieira, a violinist with Mizzou’s New Music Ensemble who recently performed at the museum, said. “That can create connections and bring back memories or create ones.”
