ABOUT GRAINGER AMPLIFIED
Grainger Amplified immerses the visitor in the world that Percy Grainger envisaged for his original displays from the 1930s to 1950s. These include collection materials from Grainger’s iconic ‘free music’ machines—both the originals and playable replicas—to items illustrating his life and times. Selections of the provocative collection formed by Percy Grainger are shown in bespoke display cases, specially commissioned by Grainger to fit the museum’s unusual layout.
Amplifying Grainger's original aims to integrate the Museum with the University's teaching and research, half the museum is also a dynamic space for performances, educational activities, and diverse outcomes of research and creative practice. Keep an eye out for events, exhibitions, and performances in this space throughout the year for further opportunities to explore this remarkable collection.
