Opening November, 2009. Rhythm! Discovery Center is located in the heart of downtown Indianapolis, directly adjacent to the Artsgarden. Indianapolis' newest attraction offers a creative and engaging experience to visitors by interpreting the role of rhythm and percussion in music and culture through dynamic educational experiences. Interactive exhibits, participatory opportunities and a hands-on area illustrate rhythm, its role in society and its connections to daily life.

Rhythm! Discovery Center, a creative vision of the Percussive Arts Society, is a 15,000-square-foot facility that houses three feature galleries, a hands-on area that allows visitors to play a variety of drums and percussion instruments, including a 96-inch drum, and a gift shop. Gallery themes explore the expansive history and cultural connections of rhythm and percussion, demonstrate how musical acoustics work through science and showcase rare percussion instruments and artifacts from around the world.

Admission: $8, adults; $5, students. Group rates available.
