The touring exhibition of the National Guitar Museum, “Medieval to Metal, The Art & Evolution of the Guitar”, recently shown at the Loveland Museum, was a huge opportunity for area guitar fans to get their fill.
Dozens of guitars were on display, augmented by color art, super informative placards as well as a gallery of black and white rock star photos – all with famous guitars in their hands. Even one of the most used “instruments” in the world – the “air guitar” – got its due.
I was just delighted with seeing the artistry going into famous guitars like a Gibson Les Paul as well as finely crafted guitar precursors.
Concurrently, the Green Room at the Loveland Museum hosted “Colorado Custom”, a display honoring regional luthiers. Together, these exhibits just rocked.
