Should museums play music - in public spaces and or in galleries? Pros for music: Music helps designers frame the atmosphere for the intended experience at the museum. You can pick music that helps people get into a reflective, active, or social mood--whatever you are trying to achieve. Repetitive music annoys staff.

And besides that, many people keep their speakers on all the time, and having music blare the moment they land on your site can be incredibly jarring.
