The most enduring icon in American history is ready to rock Cincinnati.
September 21, 2018 – January 6, 2019

From its early predecessors in the Nile River Valley and the royal courts of the Renaissance, to dingy dive bars and sold out arenas, the guitar has rocked them all. GUITAR is a full immersive exhibition that explores the instrument’s evolution and history, the science of creating sound with wood and steel and the cultural impact on cultures over the past 5,000 years.

“The guitar is the most enduring icon in American history,” says HP Newquist, founder and executive director of The National GUITAR Museum. “It has been around longer than baseball, basketball, soft drinks and sports cars.” Nearly 100 artifacts, including over 60 instruments, trace the guitar’s evolution and the way cultures and musicians drastically changed the shape and sound of the instrument.

GUITAR also explores the science behind sound. Interactives show how strings resonate on wood and how the vibration creates the music we rock out to. Displays demonstrate how the hollow body and soundboard of acoustic guitars enhance the vibrations of the strings and how electric guitars use magnetic coils to capture the vibration and turn it into amplified sound.

The exhibition also features video performances, stunning x-ray images of guitars’ inner workings and even a chance for you to pluck, strum and jam.
