The Instrument Room!

For me, the other must see items in the museum were the musical instruments. Kelly was nice (of course!) and didn't mind accompanying me to the musical instruments room.

Here are some of the different types of keyboard instruments on display and the plaques of information, (in case you care). A grand piano from 1783:



A clavichord from 1796:


And a virginal from 1620:


Here's a beautiful harpsichord.

Just look at all that detail!


And here we have a couple of organs:


Overall, I really had a great time at this museum, and thanks, Kelly, for being willing to see the things that I wanted to see! We did look at some other things, too. Here are a couple of random pictures from elsewhere in the museum.
