20 May 2014 - 27 July 2014

Discover the full-size reconstruction of the giant 27ft long  ‘Denman 
horn’, the centrepiece of a new art installation by Aleksander Kolkowski.

A popular highlight of the Museum’s daily tours in the 1930s, this 
colossal horn has been painstakingly rebuilt by the Museum’s Workshops 
team. You can now witness this forgotten instrument by exploring and 
celebrating the artefact and its history through newly created sounds, 
music and the spoken word.

Alongside the installation we have a wide-ranging programme of events 
and audio demonstrations, featuring live broadcasts, sound art and 
archive radio footage from contributors including the BBC History, 
Resonance 104.4FM, BBC Radio 3, Archive of the Now, London College of 
Communication, Royal College of Music, and Royal College of Art.

Aleksander Kolkowski was Sound Artist in Residence in 2012. He is a 
composer and researcher who uses historical sound recording and 
reproduction apparatus and obsolete media to make new music. His work 
invites people to listen to the present through the audio technologies 
of the past, via performances, installations, recordings and live 
historical re-enactments.
