The Guitar Museum of New England this spring will preview artisanal instruments from its collection and plans for its construction in West Concord during a series of Open House events with founding curator Wilson Schunemann.

At the Museum’s temporary pop-up space at 129 Commonwealth Ave, visitors will have the opportunity to view a ‘sneak peek’ exhibit of stunning, hand-crafted guitars by top luthiers from the museum’s core collection – and to see the architectural plans and animations of the building that will house the future Guitar Museum of New England! Schunemann will be on-hand to discuss the Museum’s origins and inspirations, the plans and features for the permanent Museum to be built nearby at 74 Commonwealth Avenue, and some of the exciting concerts and collaborations with major artists coming up while awaiting the Museum’s construction.

Entry is free. These Open Houses are part of the Hidden Treasures Festival of Nature, Culture & History, sponsored by Freedom’s Way National Heritage Area.
