Developers of what they call the world's first museum dedicated to electronic music are cautiously optimistic that it will finally open in the German city of Frankfurt in the second half of 2021, roughly two years after originally planned.

The museum aims to tell the story of what club culture has contributed to society with a visual and aural journey through electronic music over the decades using sound installations, photography and other visual works.
