The Moogseum
The Bob Moog Foundation preserves and promotes the legacy of Dr. Robert A. Moog, who invented analog music synthesizers that transformed contemporary music. The nonprofit organization teaches children about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) by bringing interactive, hands-on music synthesis into schools through its Dr. Bob's SoundSchool program.
Moogseum is an interactive, hands-on museum opened on May 23 in the foundation's home town of Asheville, North Carolina, presenting exhibits exploring Dr. Moog's life and work, the history of synthesis, the science of audio waveforms, and more.
