Update
Rhythm! Discovery Center
Closed until further notice
Rhythm! Discovery Center recently announced that they will be relocating following water damage suffered in late December. Although, none of their archives or collections were damaged due to strict storage procedures. Their extensive drum and percussion collection has since been moved to an offsite museum-quality storage facility. While the organization works on finding a new space for the museum, there is currently no set timeline for relocation. The physical museum will remain closed until the relocation is complete.
