Until August 18, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's special exhibit "Art of Noise" features a host of visual artifacts illustrating how the way popular music has been heard, promoted, and packaged has changed over the last hundred years. This two-and-a-half-hour mini-course spotlights several dozen of its most interesting vintage posters, album covers, turntables, stereo systems, radios, and advertisements, spanning the early 20th century to the present. We’ll discuss these artifacts' history with pictures and videos, adding historical context to how these formats have evolved over the past century.
