Of Thee I Sing: Origin, Heritage, and Patriotism

This exhibition explores the themes of origin, heritage, and patriotism in the United States, as told through musical instruments, their makers, and the traditions they represent. Displays include instruments and stories of Native Americans, the colonial period in North America, immigrant innovators in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and the use of patriotic symbols to decorate musical instruments throughout our history.

Of Thee I Sing is a celebration of who we are and how we express our origin, heritage, and patriotism through the musical instruments we make.
