The Temporary Soundmuseum is a comprehensive and constantly expanded collection representing the history of the vinyl culture and is presented internationally in various exhibitions.

The collection is arranged along various themes, like politics, science, graphics and design, advertisement, sports, and many more (go to the text archive for examples).
It obviously consists mainly of records and covers, but includes also all the different variants like sounding postcards or flexes, fragile containers of all kinds of elusive messages.

The small but exquisite collection of about one hundred record players shows the various stages of design and raises the question why all the colourful and fanciful units of the 1960ies and 70ies were replaced all of a sudden by boring black and grey boxes.
Every museum of design worldwide displays the same Brauns and Bang & Olufsens, beautiful classics, but less influential as far as our pop consciousness is concerned.
