Our first music album EUROMUSE Volume 01 presents six original synocompositions created for specific museum environments in Italy (Explora – Il Museo dei Bambini di Roma, Rome), Greece (Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, Athens) and Portugal (Museu de Arte Pré‑Histórica de Mação, Mação). The album explores how applied music can act as an interpretative layer in museums, supporting audience experience, emotional engagement, accessibility and new forms of cultural communication.
Developed through the Synomusic® methodology, the compositions were created in close collaboration with curators, researchers, Community Muse Board groups, EUROMUSE music management and museum audiences in the participating museums. Each work responds to the spatial, narrative and interpretative qualities of a specific museum context, functioning not as background music, but as a museum‑specific sound layer that can be experienced both on site and online.
EUROMUSE Volume 01 was first presented at the international scientific conference “Museums, Music, and Audiences: Towards Inclusive and Data‑Informed Cultural Practice”, held in Belgrade, Serbia, on 25–26 April 2026. The album served as a case study for discussing how sound can expand interpretation, inclusion and visitor experience in contemporary museums.
The album is available on major streaming platforms (including Spotify and Apple Music), as well as via the EUROMUSE website. We invite museum professionals, networks and associations to explore the album and reflect on how music and sound might support interpretation, inclusion and visitor experience in their own institutions.
Thank you to all our partners and supporters – the Faculty of Media and Communications, the Museum of Science and Technology, the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade, the French Institute in Serbia, Camões Institute (Portugal), the Italian Cultural Institute in Belgrade, Visaris and Unibrand.
