The Natural Museum of American History’s Music & Musical Instruments segment has collected more than 5,000 instruments of American and European heritage, ranging from Dizzy Gillespie’s Silver Flair trumpet to Prince’s Yellow Cloud guitar. Synthesizers, jukeboxes, clothing, sheet music, recordings, photographs, and other archival material adorn the Website, which is outstanding in its scope and appreciation.
