GUITAR: The Instrument that Rocked the World Opening Weekend

  • Carnegie Science Center (map)

Event includes a performance by Byron Nash!

Rock out to everything about the guitar in this featured exhibition of the Carnegie Science Center. This blockbuster showcases nearly 70 acoustic, electric, historical, and unusual guitars. The most unforgettable is the world’s largest playable electric guitar – 43 feet long and weighing as much as a small car (2,200 pounds!)

GUITAR: The Instrument That Rocked The World will take visitors through the evolution of the guitar’s design, sound, and association with important musicians.

Packed with STEM-based elements, GUITAR introduces visitors to the science of sound and music through 15 hands-on interactives. Learn about electromagnetism, sound waves, frequency, decibel levels, mathematical scales, engineering design, and materials. Additional concepts include amplification, memory skills, and performance.

GUITAR is a touring exhibition of The National GUITAR Museum.
