Most sounds have an identifiable source and cause. The everyday soundscapes that surround you reassure you that the world is performing as it should.


Listen for sounds and imagine their sources and causes.

Do some sounds have no source or cause?

Can sounds tell stories?

Listen for sounds that are acting as signals or signs.

Consider the different ways sounds serve as signals and signs.

Is there a reason certain sounds occur together?

What kinds of relations are there between the sounds you are hearing?

McClelland acknowledges the Bunurong / Boon Wurrung people of the South-Eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we are placed.


We are a safe, welcoming space for all people.

As a not-for-profit organisation, McClelland relies largely on the support of visitors through entry fees and donations to help conserve and build the collection, curate inspiring exhibitions and public programs, and care for the beautiful sculpture park and bushland setting for all to enjoy.
