The ReBirth Museum is a historical online archive about Propellerheads Software’s ReBirth RB-338—not a walk-in museum. Its pages brought together a history of the music software and digital material such as mods, songs, and downloads. The archive’s current availability is not established by the sources cited here.
What is the ReBirth Museum?
The Museum was a website devoted to ReBirth RB-338, the music software made by Propellerheads Software. Archive maintainer Kurt Kurasaki says Propellerheads commissioned him to research and write ReBirth’s history for the site. His description also points to mod and song archives and information about downloading the full RB-338 version 2.0.1. Kurt Kurasaki’s archive description
A 2005 report by Make: described the Museum’s archive as including RB-338 CD-ROM files, user-created mods, songs, and extras. That is a record of what the archive reportedly contained at the time, not proof that the original site or its files can still be reached. Make:’s 2005 report
What was ReBirth RB-338?
ReBirth was a software music instrument that brought computer-based versions of two influential Roland machines, the TB-303 and TR-808, to personal computers. Reason Studios’ company history dates the product’s release to 1997. Reason Studios’ company history

Its history and files offer a window into a period when software instruments and user-made modifications helped bring electronic-music tools onto computers.
Can you still download ReBirth?
The cited sources do not establish whether the original Museum website is online today or whether an official source currently offers the legacy desktop download. They also do not establish current licensing terms or which operating systems can run it. The archive’s historical mention of version 2.0.1 should not be read as confirmation that the file remains available.

Reason Studios’ 2018 discontinuation notice applies specifically to ReBirth for iPad. The company wrote, “We have decided to discontinue ReBirth for iPad,” in a notice dated March 21, 2018, and said the decision followed a statement from Roland about intellectual-property rights. That notice does not establish that every desktop copy was withdrawn or that the historical Museum archive is now hosted. Reason Studios’ iPad discontinuation notice

That physical exhibition is distinct from the historical ReBirth Museum website. Reason Studios’ article on the exhibition
