Imagine a perfectly harmonious orchestra \u2014 every instrument in its place, rhythm and melody in perfect balance. Life in a barn should work in much the same way: cows, pigs, sheep, and laying hens form their own unique \u201corchestra,\u201d conducted by humans.<\/p>\n

The Estonian Agricultural Museum\u2019s new exhibition \u201cBarn Symphony\u201d explores the importance of farm animal welfare through the metaphor of music. What conditions must people create for animals to be healthy and calm \u2014 to \u201cplay together\u201d like a well-conducted orchestra?<\/p>\n

What happens when one \u201cinstrument\u201d goes out of tune? Does a stressed sheep \u201cbleat\u201d differently? How does a hen feel if she cannot stretch her wings freely?<\/p>\n

Come and discover whether it is possible to compose the \u201cscore\u201d of a happy farm \u2014 and what role both humans and animals play in it.<\/p>\n
