In June the Museum closed its doors to complete work on five galleries that depict the multifaceted history of American music and create a new exhibit space dedicated to housing the Museum\u2019s self-curated temporary exhibitions. The changes are aimed at increasing visitor engagement with musical instruments and updating the story of musical innovations to include the 19th century to present day.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur renovation project allowed us to expand upon what has always been one of the most positive visitor experiences at the Museum \u2013 actual engagement with musical instruments,\u201d said Carolyn Grant, executive director at the Museum of Making Music. \u201cFor more than ten years, the Museum has shared the history of music and instrument innovation through educational programs, exhibitions and live performances, and now gives visitors even more hands-on time with instruments and allows them to connect with the music making process.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Museum\u2019s fifth gallery experienced the most enhancements during the renovation and now includes nearly 1,100 square feet of state-of-the-art interactive displays, giving visitors a chance to explore their own musicality by picking up instruments and playing with other guests. Breakthrough musical instruments were added to four of the Museum\u2019s galleries to showcase innovations that significantly impacted music making in a given time period. Modern equivalents of the breakthrough instruments are now available for guests to pick up and play during their visit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
