HIGH STRUNG
FIVE CENTURIES OF STRINGED KEYBOARD INSTRUMENTS
Opening in March 2024, the special exhibition “High Strung: Five Centuries of Stringed Keyboard Instruments” will explore the form, function and development of keyboard instruments from early harpsichords to the modern piano. The special exhibition brings together nearly 20 keyboard instruments from the NMM’s collections - some of which have never before been on exhibit.
NMM Goes Electric! interprets the history of electric stringed instruments through objects from the National Music Museum's permanent collections, including many that have never previously been highlighted! From the early 1900s to the digital era, join us on a journey through the history of electric guitars, violins, banjolines, and more.
