That doesn't mean that they couldn't have been hurt before the creation of the art.

True, but they are being played in this display and my limited contact with this museum convices me they have great respect for the intruments they have amassed.

My first student clarinet is now doing duty as the base of a lamp on my nightstand. (I actually had to take it apart and play the clarinet a few years back, when my good horn was in the shop and I had a rehearsal. It was very interesting to go back and play the student instrument after almost 15 years playing a professional-caliber one.)

I've never been to the EMP. I did pledge my $90.3 dollars to KEXP, 90.3. It's listener supported [mostly], baby! They have a streaming audio link as well, you should all check it out.
[edit] Paul Allen bought KCMU, the University of WA alternative radio station, and ensconsed them in the EMP as KEXP.

wow!
Wow! I've hung 5 of my guitars on the wall for easy access as well as asthetics with a musical theme to my living room, but this is insane. Sure, maybe it plays some music, but for the most part, every one of those guitars is useless if you can't pull one down and experience the joy of playing it, or watch someone master its strings, or sing along in the creation of musical praise.
I'm not sure how this towering mass helps contribute to world peace or the furthering of humanity, but I guess we all have the freedom to waste our money if we want. So if some guy wants to tower with a bunch of guitars and call it art, then more power to him, but I'm sure I can think of many more aspiring musicians, and under priveleged children who could benefit more by receiveing one of those instruments, rather than seeing it imprisoned on that cage. |

Is it bad that I can identify the maker and model of half those guitars even from that shot?
