Musical Instrument Museum showcases Stradivarius, other rare instruments

More from this show

On November 8, 2024, the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) unveiled a new exhibit called Stradivarius and the Golden Age of Violins and Guitars. The exhibit showcases more than 70 exceptional string instruments and bows crafted by master luthiers such as Antonio Stradivari, Andrea Amati and Giuseppe Guarneri “del Gesù.”

Matt Zeller, MIM’s Curator for Europe, joined us to discuss this one-of-a-kind exhibition.

The exhibit includes violins, guitars, lutes and bows from the 16th to 19th centuries, many of which have never been publicly displayed before.
