~ Music Exhibits ~

Music has always played an important part in the lives of humans. The museum has acquired a collection of musical instruments and other music-related items that reflect the history of music in the 19th and 20th centuries. A few of the items in the exhibit include: a pump organ (ca. 1877); an Edison cylinder phonograph (1905); an R.C.A. Victor orthaphonic record player (1921); a celestaphone (1912); a zither (1873); and antique radios.
