Loud revelers met tired ballet dancers, jazz met romantic round dances, abstract sounds met dancing skeletons. Visitors were surprised by the diversity of the museum's holdings on the theme of music - paintings, graphic art, drawings and sculptures. There was much to discover, from the late 19th century to the present day - works that had rarely or never been shown before.

A special highlight was that visitors could listen to musical interpretations in front of selected exhibits in the exhibition. These were composed especially for the works by amateurs and professionals, by choirs and bands, by children, adults and an AI and professionally recorded in a recording studio: Classical, punk, pop, jazz, vocals, electro.
