Guitar Exhibit - Carnegie Science Center

GUITAR:
THE INSTRUMENT THAT ROCKED THE WORLD

CARNEGIE SCIENCE CENTER – June 16 – Sept. 30, 2012
"GUITAR: The Instrument That Rocked The World" is an exciting and engaging experience that gives visitors the chance to interact with the guitar not only from the perspective of its history, evolution, and design, but through the music it has created and the technology that continues to enhance it.
The guitar is the single most enduring icon in American history. This fully immersive exhibition explores all facets of the world’s most popular instrument, from its history as an instrument of popular culture over the past 400 years to the science of creating sound with wood and steel. Visitors will experience the science, sound, history, and cultural impact of the guitar in an exhibition that contains more than 60 instruments—ranging from the rare and antique to the wildly popular and innovative—along with hands-on interactives, models, touchscreens, performance video, audio, and stunning photographs.
Head to the (nice, cool) Carnegie Science Center to see this great exhibit while it's here!

That's such a cool thing to do for music lovers of all ages. I like that they had a children's section dedicated to those who may be really young but still have an interest in learning how to play.
