A Safari of Sound: A Musical Zoo

Miller Nichols Library Ground Floor


In this musical safari, join Music/Media Library’s new tour guides as they hop along the tour map, looking at animal themed music throughout Music/Media Library.

Kasey Kangaroo takes the lead role as they welcome you to the tour. In the secret area where the CDs and DVDs dwell, Camille Snake slithers out to tell you about her section. Azul Owl welcomes your from afar with the electronic resources they’re hooting about. Closer to home, Hyacinth Hippo takes you through the marshes of books. And to round out your tour, follow Leo Lion into the extensive score collection. We promise he doesn’t bite!

Follow us on Facebook, and Instagram to see more collection highlights. We also partner with the Marr Sound Archives to highlight LPs from their collection. Check the resource list below, and click the button to download.

Collection display curated by UMKC Music/Media Library Staff Melissa Allison and Bekah Walker and student assistant Sara Hanford, with assistance from Marr’s Nikki L’Amour.
