This interactive, hands on program combines more than 100 percussion instruments from around the world with in-depth knowledge of their origin and cultural context. Audiences are given an “up close and personal” look into a culture's music and the rhythm instruments used to make that music.  Through live instrument demonstrations and an opportunity to touch and play many of the instruments on display, audiences learn about the science of sound production and how natural resources are used to create drums and rhythm instruments.  Great for individual classroom settings and small groups of all ages!   World Drum Petting Zoo is also available as a manned, interactive exhibit.
