THE EXHIBITION

Have you ever wondered about the science behind rock ‘n’ roll? How has technology shaped this multi-billion dollar industry? How can performers bring hundreds of thousands of screaming fans to their feet? What physiological effects does rock have on our brain and body?

The Science of Rock ‘n’ Roll is a new traveling exhibition which is now open at The Michigan Science Center. It provides a fresh look at the history of rock from the perspective of science and technology.
