Whether you visit for their permanent collections or to view a special exhibit, your day will be filled with an art experience that can't be matched anywhere in Boston. If you have a love for musical instruments, especially guitars, you won't want to miss their latest exhibit, Dangerous Curves, Art of the Guitar . Many of them are art objects too. You'll also see intricate designs outside and inside. A very special one has an alligator design with frog-crafted knobs.
Shapes are as interesting.
One of my favorites was a John Lennon guitar . It was awesome to stand in front of this instrument knowing that at one time, Lennon picked its strings and probably sang songs to friends and family. After Lennon moved on to an electric guitar, his aunt added a plaque on the headstock. Another classic on display is the famous Flying V once owned by Jimi Hendrix. The psychedelic designs replicate those originally hand painted by Hendrix.
