"Music Box Village is a non-profit musical playground that creates interactive sound art installations from bells, drum kits, and MacGyvered everyday objects. The artist-built sculpture garden trades in the unexpected, placing a drum kit inside a gazebo and rigging a sliding door’s wires to be plucked like a bass string. Children and adults alike run from station to station, creating a beautiful wall of sound, and the outdoor spaces is often home to flea markets, concerts, and other community events." - ByAliza Abarbanel
