Guitars and More Guitars

We went to see the Guitar Exhibit at the History Museum at the Castle. The hubby wanted to see it and it was going to be leaving at the end of the year.

Seriously it was 2 rooms of guitars. That's it.

The main room downstairs had various models of guitars throughout the 20th century through present day. It explained the history of that particular kind of guitar and who made it. There were a few cool ones like the 3-D printer one and the world's largest guitar. I was expecting guitars played by famous people.. there were 2 autographed ones and that was it. It was more about the history of the types of guitars. Snooze.

The second floor room was a bit more exciting as it different types of stringed instruments that are related to the guitar such as a sitar and ukulele. It was slightly more hands-on with some musical instruments you could play.

While we were there we did check out the Houdini Exhibit and the history of Appleton exhibits down in the basement both of which we've seen before.

Honestly I was not impressed and bored. It was not that interesting. The hubby found it interesting. I am not much of a music person so that might be part of my problem. The hubby thinks because we've been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame that I'm a bit jaded and seen it all. Which is probably entirely true.

Personally I didn't think it was worth the $12 but the hubby did. Would I suggest you go see the exhibit before the end of the year? Yes but only if you find guitars and music interesting. Otherwise you'll be like me and think it's dumb. Heck still go, you might find it cool.
