Can a sound be seen or only heard? Is it possible to evoke the essence of a sound visually in a photograph? That was the challenge posed to Indiana photographers by the Indiana Historical Society's photography contest in 2000.

"Sound Effects" is a wall-hung exhibit consisting of 31 framed photographs chosen from the contest entries. Selected photographs were chosen from the professional, amateur, and student categories and illustrate sounds inherent in the Indiana experience. Each photo is accompanied by a short label written by the photographer explaining their image. The sounds depicted include natural, industrial, manmade, musical, urban, and other colorful sounds from the state's 92 counties.

Requires approximately 70 linear feet of wall space. Borrower is responsible for both hanging the exhibit and taking it down after the show.
