Techno: Detroit's Gift to the World
January 2003 – June 2004
Detroit Historical Museum's Stark Hall
History is often thought of as a series of events that occurred a very long time ago. The truth is, history is also what happened yesterday, five minutes ago, and in fact, today's events will be tomorrow's history. With this in mind the Detroit Historical Museum has partnered with the originators of Techno to share the story of their music. This groundbreaking exhibit will trace Techno's early beginning from its Detroit roots to its emergence as a global sensation.
An ambitious new exhibit – the world’s first on the subject -- that celebrates a style of music born in Detroit that has kept the world dancing for more than 20 years.
Learn the straight story of how Juan Atkins, Eddie Fowlkes, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, four young men from metro Detroit, created and developed this electronic style of dance music and trace its early beginnings from local Detroit clubs to its emergence as a global sensation.

The exhibit will feature fliers, posters, records, cds, equipment and much more. This is just a small sample of what the exhibit will contain.
