Banjo Museum

Did you know that there is a banjo museum? I certainly would not have known if I didn't read Making music magazine. It has information about a variety of instruments and encourages adults to become involved in music in whatever way they can.
The museum is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was founded in 1998 with the donation of 60 ornately decorated four-string tenor and plectrum banjos by Jack Canine. The museum recently acquired a million-dollar collection 0f 200 jazz-age banjos from a private German collection. Who would have thought that there would be a collection of over 200 banjos.
Apparently the banjo has been around for 350 years in the United States.
The museum honours historical and contemporary banjo performers. Wonder if the museum honours Steve Martin who plays the banjo? The induction into the Hall of Fame happens in April and is followed by the Bricktown Banjo Bash which should be something to hear.
The museum also sponsors classes in hopes of keeping banjo playing alive.
Wonder if there is a bassoon museum? Should check.
