Aboyne, Ont. – The Wellington County Museum and Archives is pleased to welcome Sonic Sensation – a travelling exhibition from the Sciencenter in Ithaca, New York.

- Conduct an orchestra using their body and motion-capture technology
- Create soundtracks to silent film clips
- Learn about the anatomy and physics of how we hear, and how to protect our hearing
