Detroit Historical Museum hosting celebration as techno music fest exhibit comes to close
DETROIT (FOX 2) - The Detroit Historical Museum is hosting a celebration featuring entertainment, a discussion, and film screening as its techno music exhibit comes to a close next month.
Photos and memorabilia showcasing two decades of techno festivals in the Motor City have been on display at the museum in Midtown.
The exhibit, 2000/2020: Celebrating 20 Years of the Electronic Music Festival in Detroit!, closes June 27. However, the event will be held May 30, the weekend that the Movement electronic music festival is typically held in Hart Plaza. For the second year in a row, the pandemic forced the event to be canceled.
