Background Music for Museums and Cultural Venues
Royalty-free music for museums, art galleries, exhibitions and cultural spaces
How Does Our Background Music Service for Museums Work?
To use our background music service for museums and cultural venues, you only need an internet-connected device using Wi-Fi or an RJ45 cable, connected to the sound system in the area you want to cover. You can use the FreeMusix app for Android and iOS on a mobile phone, or play the music from a computer, laptop or tablet and transmit the audio through Bluetooth or cable.
The service works entirely through streaming and can be used in museum entrances, lobbies, exhibition rooms, interpretation centres, art galleries, museum shops, cafés, auditoriums, relaxation areas and cultural event spaces. Simply sign in with your email address and password, press Play and start the music.
Choose from styles suited to artistic and cultural environments, including ambient, classical music, soft piano, light jazz, atmospheric electronic music, chill-out, lounge and instrumental music. This makes it easy to create a soundscape that complements the museum's identity, the exhibition theme and the visitor journey.
FreeMusix Catalogue Usage Certificate for Museums
When you subscribe to FreeMusix for museums, art galleries, exhibitions or cultural venues, you can download a catalogue usage certificate from your Customer Area. This document confirms access to and use of the FreeMusix music catalogue at the registered venue and includes details such as the address, floor area and service start date.
FreeMusix provides royalty-free music for professional and cultural use, suitable for museums, art centres, exhibition halls, foundations, interpretation centres and other public-facing cultural spaces. The certificate applies exclusively to the FreeMusix repertoire and does not cover third-party music or external sources that are not included in our service.
Additional obligations may apply in some countries depending on local regulations and the way recorded music is used. Contact us if your museum or cultural organisation needs more specific guidance. We can also prepare a tailored proposal for organisations managing multiple galleries, buildings, cultural venues or a network of museums.
