"Music for Museum" is an ambient music album by the French electronic duo Air. It was released on July 10, 2014, by The Vinyl Factory. The album is unique because it was only sold as a vinyl record and was limited to 1000 copies. It was initially created for a special event at Palais de Tokyo in Paris, where it served as a soundtrack for an exhibition by multimedia artist Xavier Veilhan, who invited Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel from Air to create an ambient musical piece.
The album, a low-tempo instrumental LP, explores various themes, moods, and atmospheres, reflecting the rich diversity of the artist's works while ensuring a cohesive and fluid listening experience. It consists of eight tracks that blend Air's signature electronic landscape with minimalistic elements, creating an ethereal sound experience. Music critics hailed this album as one of Air's most experimental works, setting it apart from some of their more mainstream releases.
Although the album did not chart due to its limited release, it is highly regarded by fans of the genre and is a testament to the group's versatility and creativity. The album's value is not only in its high-quality musical compositions but also in its contribution to the integration of visual and audible art within the museum context.
