A multimedia exhibition using new technologies as a medium to tell the story of Bartók's passion for Romanian folk music, his innovative audio recording methods, as well as how the recordings have been reimagined by the artists invited to the project from 2018 to the present. The exhibition will feature the premiere of photographs taken by Bela Bartok during his folklore collecting journeys, as well as the opportunity to listen to his music recorded on wax cylinders using the phonograph, as it was played more than 100 years ago.
