Cade Museum — STEAM Music Concept

Project Overview

Museum Planning LLC developed a STEAM music concept for the Cade Museum in Gainesville, Florida — a museum dedicated to inspiring the next generation of inventors and entrepreneurs. The music concept was developed as part of the museum's broader programming strategy to use music as a vehicle for STEAM learning.

STEAM Through Music

The concept explored the deep connections between music and STEAM disciplines — acoustics and physics, composition and mathematics, instrument-making and engineering, recording technology and digital science. By centering music as a STEAM subject, the Cade Museum could engage new audiences while deepening its core educational mission.

Master Planning

The master planning work established the programmatic, spatial, and operational framework for the music concept — including exhibit concepts, programming models, and a business case for integration into the museum's existing facility and mission.
