The Moogseum: Connect. Create. Explore.

The Bob Moog Museum, or Moogseum, to be located in Asheville,NC is a planned state-of-the-art facility that will serve as the convergence of our goals, merging music, science and innovation. The Moogseum, which will house Bob’s archive and serve as an educational, historical and cultural resource for Western North Carolina and the wider international music and science communities, will include:

• Interactive Moog Legacy Timeline tracing Bob’s life and work and the people involved who inspired him to innovate over his 50 year career
• Sonic exploration room filled with theremins, moogerfoogers, and synthesizers, including a giant modular wall, connecting people to the science behind the Moog sound
• Young Inventors’ Lab inspiring children to innovate through music and science
• Live performance space to feature concerts, seminars and lectures highlighting the history and future of electronic music
• Archive Lab featuring Bob’s digitized archives for access through a touch-screen interface

The Moogseum will cost in excess of $3 million to bring to fruition. The Bob Moog Foundation recently received a significant lead grant in the amount of $600,000 from the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority (BCTDA) for construction costs for the Moogseum. We are deeply grateful to them for this enthusiastic support of our hallmark project. Currently, we are seeking funding from several other sources to bring this project to fruition.
