Museum offers family fun

Ever dance a tune on a musical carpet? Play a human xylophone? Squish a composition into a blob of musical clay? Museumgoers can do all this and more on Sunday, April 28 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the MIT Museum 's "Musical Media: An Interactive Music Festival."

This event--part of the Museum's FAST (Family Adventures in Science and Technology) Sundays Program--gives people the opportunity to learn more about interactive media through hands-on activities. Participants will get a glimpse into some of the pioneering research under way at the Media Lab. The festival is free with the price of museum admission. For more information, call x3-5927.
