Are there any other adults who miss the simple joy of spending time on a swing set? Sure, this playground activity might not be as accessible to us as it was when we were still kids. But that does not mean we have to miss out entirely! If you’re lucky enough to live near the North Carolina Museum of Art, you can try out an especially unique set of swings… they’re musical!

The swings at this museum aren’t like the ones you find at a park. While they can be used like normal swings, they double as an art installation. With each swing you take, the sound of an instrument rings out. But that is not even the coolest part! Something even more magical happens when more than one person swings at a time.

“Those should be required at parks as mental health [needs to be focused on] in these times,” someone suggests in the comments, another person taking it a step further, “These should be everywhere.”

The responses, however, are always the same: People love creating music together.
“It’s an intuitive game, where you make music with your entire body,” the studio explains, “and where synchronized motion between participants unlocks secret melodies, encouraging cooperation.”
