Opening Reception: Music in Missouri

Join us on January 30th, 2020 at 5-7pm for the grand opening of the Music in Missouri Exhibit, featured in the Wenneker Family Corridor Gallery. The State Historical Society’s building is designed to evoke a sense of confluence—of rivers, cultures, ideas, and people. This new exhibit explores Missouri’s contribution to American music. As viewers observe Missouri’s role in shaping American sound, they will also see the ways in which musical interactions broke down barriers—especially those based on race, gender, and region—and made Missouri a unique place for creativity, reinvention, and progress. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
