News from the Grainger Museum and Grainger Logo

Dear <<Name>>

With the cold weather finally upon us, the Grainger Museum is setting itself up for an eventful winter season with the recent opening of our exciting new exhibition Synthesizers: Sound of the Future. The exhibition is on until 9 September 2018, and includes an array of public programs to suit everyone's tastes. The full list of events can be found on the What's On page of the Grainger Museum website

In conjunction with the exhibition, we are featuring a series of limited edition EMS Synths posters, created by Voltage Control Art, for sale in the Grainger Museum shop for the duration of the exhibition. Find more information on these below. 

We are also very busy welcoming new volunteers to the Grainger Museum. We are greatly appreciative of the support our volunteers provide to the Museum, and we would like to thank every one of our volunteers who contribute their own precious time to assisting in the running of the Grainger. For more information on our volunteers program, see our website

And finally for this month's From The Collection feature, we are sharing a detailed look into the Grainger Museum Archive, with a focus on the Laver Collection.

Warm Regards,
Grainger Museum
