Come on a musical journey featuring the records and iconic music that
changed lives and the technology that made it happen. Discover the
rich history of Jewish contributions to music in Australia and abroad.
Since the invention of the gramophone and the record by Jewish
inventor Emil Berliner, vinyl and shellac records became the sound
carriers of global experiences of the 20th century. Music has always
been central to Jewish tradition and culture, from synagogue music and
Yiddish theatre to Jewish folk music and Jewish punk artists who
gained rebel status. In Australia, Jewish musicians have also made
significant contributions to Australia’s musical life. Visitors to
Jukebox Jewkbox! A Century on Shellac and Vinyl will be taken on a
journey of the senses through tunes from cantorial to punk genres, and
walls of hundreds of vibrant record covers, to unfold a surprising
history of a universal language. Whether you have a penchant to listen
in to music the modern or old fashioned way, you can take some time to
enjoy your favourite tracks. Put a dime in the jukebox, or for some
laid-back listening, grab some headphones and listen to some tunes
from the albums on display.
