See The Musical Instruments Of Elvis, The Beatles, And Other Rock Legends At The Met
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has revealed plans to dedicate a spring exhibition to some of the most iconic musical instruments in the history of rock and roll
More than 130 instruments used by such artists as Chuck Berry, the Beatles, Elvis Presley, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Jimmy Page, Steve Miller, St. Vincent, Metallica and the Rolling Stones will go on display in Play It Loud: Instruments of Rock & Roll, which opens next April.
Most of the objects in the exhibition, which are drawn from 70 private and public collections and date from 1939-2017, will be seen for the first time outside their performance contexts. Themes will include emerging technologies and how musicians embraced them, the "Guitar Gods" phenomenon and the destruction of instruments during live performances.
