Sit down on the bench with a friend. Touch the armrests while you hold hands and you will hear a twinkling melody.

The Musical Bench is an exhibit which makes music when people touch, kiss, or hold hands. It uses a micro-controller to detect changes in resistance, via the metal armrests, and plays high or low notes depending on how much current flows through you and your friend.
