National Music Museum of Vermillion, South Dakota
The National Music Museum (formerly called the Shrine to Music Museum) is located on the campus of the University of South Dakota in the town of Vermillion. I was born in this town and grew up about an hour north of it in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The National Music Museum is a fascinating place to visit. If you are ever passing through South Dakota it is definitely worth stopping. Here are some pieces from their vast collection:
The King Violoncello by Andrea Amati, Cremona, after 1538
Lute by Thomas Edlinger, Prague, 1728
Andrea Amati’s f-holes (1574)
Grand Piano by Nannette Streicher and Son, Vienna, 1829
Two 19th-century Mute Violins
The Rawlins Stradivari Guitar, 1700
See these and many other beautiful and unusual instruments on their website.
