Stress and anxiety are a silent epidemic, with nearly 40% of young people reporting persistent feelings of anxiety. (WHO)‍

Müpa Budapest believes the antidote lies in the transformative power of music. ‍

That is why we created Müpa SOUNDSHOWERS - a refreshing place where everybody can immerse themselves in music.

We brought the healing sanctuary of the concert hall to the chaos of the city. 

So we created Müpa SOUNDSHOWERS - a refreshing place where you can immerse yourself in culture.

Using a special ultrasound based technology called Directional Sound, we created a special experience. 

Like stepping under a stream of water, people could step into invisible cocoons of a soaking soundstream. 

The stressful noise of the city would melt away, replaced by the rich, immersive soundscape of live Müpa performances.

With a simple turn of a tap, people could switch between diverse musical worlds of Müpa. For a few precious moments, the people waiting for the bus found a soothing escape to simply stop, listen, recharge and let music restore their inner peace.

1 month, 2 stops, 3 booths, 4 styles and over 5,000 hours of soothing music. 

Müpa SOUNDSHOWERS — a portal to a world of calm.
