Medieval to Metal explores all facets of the guitar, from its history as an instrument of popular culture over the past four hundred years to modern efforts to reinvent the guitar with different materials, shapes, and approaches to design. Design illustrations, objects, and photographs provide a rich context for exploring the artistic components of the guitar.

This exhibition includes 40 instruments from the National Guitar Museum, ranging from rare and antique to the wildly popular and innovative, and supplemented with photographs and illustrations that depict significant artists and instruments of the last century.

“Medieval To Metal: The Art & Evolution Of The GUITAR” is a Touring Exhibition of The National GUITAR Museum.
