The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has an exhibit called "The Art of Noise" which looks at how we listen to our music:

First IPOD -2001

1947 Juke Box

1912 Edison Photograph

1935 Special K Phonograph

1971 Vision 2000 Cassette Player and Radio

1970 Weltron 8-Track Player

1981 JVC Boombox

1962 Braun Recording Unit

2009 Power Love Digital Music Player

1938 Zenith Radio

1926 Model 425 Speaker

1933 Air King Radio

And they had some cool music posters:




And most interesting poster was the one of The Beatles last live concert:


The day I was there, they had one of Lars Ulrich's from Metallica drum kits there. Anyone who signed up could play it for a minute:


The Art of Noise was a really interesting exhibit and it was cool to see how we listen to our music has changed over the years.
