About This Event

May 19 through October 09, 2026Baker-Berry Library, Reiss HallCurated by Memory Apata, Research & Learning Librarian for Music & Performing ArtsDesigned by Max Seidman, Exhibits and Graphic Arts Designer Generations of community members have shaped Dartmouth's sonic identity through the Baker Bells: from the machinist who hacked player pianos to control the clock tower and the professors' wives who hand-punched hundreds of music rolls, to the student composers writing original works for the tower today. Explore the exhibit and consider: how does sound shape your sense of place? What should Dartmouth sound like and who should decide?
