The unexpected solo

A hush.  A pause.  An unfortunate sound.  This exhibit treats the comic timing of an interruption as a miniature performance.  

The rubber instrument

Our illustrated whoopee cushion gets the full museum treatment: a pedestal, dramatic lighting, and considerably more dignity than it usually receives.  

Listen for yourself

Try the sound control below.  It plays a short synthesized effect, with no recording or microphone required.  

The listening room

PLEASE DISTURB THE PEACE.  

Sound plays only when pressed.
