The Health Museum in Houston, Texas, Opens New Permanent Exhibition Sensing Sound on November 21: Five Sensory Zones, General Admission 15 Dollars for Ages 13 and Older, and Free Entry Thursdays 2 to 5 p.m.
Houston, Texas — The Health Museum in Houston announced on November 9, through PR Newswire, that its new permanent exhibition, Sensing Sound: A Perception Box Experience, opens on Saturday, November 21, 2026, exploring how people hear, feel and perceive sound.
Developed in partnership with the nonprofit Unlikely Collaborators, the exhibition has five sensory zones with interactive environments on the science of vibration, and includes recorded Sound Story interviews with nearly 20 Houstonians on music, memory, culture, health and everyday sounds. The exhibition is presented in English and Spanish.
Becky Seabrook, Interim Co-Executive Director, said sound is constantly shaping lives, often without people realizing it, and the exhibition lets visitors play with it and think about it differently. Elizabeth R. Koch, Founder and CEO of Unlikely Collaborators, described the Perception Box framework as the lens shaped by biology, beliefs and personal histories.
General admission is 15 dollars for ages 13 and older, 12 dollars for children ages 3 to 12 and seniors 65 and above, and free for children two and younger, with free admission for everyone on Thursdays from 2 to 5 p.m. Through Museums for All, visitors showing a SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer card can buy general admission at 3 dollars per ticket, for up to four people.
Museum hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday noon to 5 p.m., closed Monday except for federal holidays and the Memorial Day to Labor Day period. The museum sits in the Houston Museum District and is a member institution of the Texas Medical Center.
