Cool stuff. Looks like a trip to NYC is in the future.

I went to It Might Get Loud. I didn't want to leave. I went back the next day for more.

Looks like it could be a cool exhibit. I could not find anything about it on the Met's homepage.

Edit: I did find this, however: https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/guitars/the-met-dirk-ziff-collection-donation

The Met is a fantastic place to spend any amount of time you choose.

Everybody gets excited when expensive instruments end up in a museum. But what happens when the guy who’s holding on to all the low-end Epiphones and Squiers people sell when they quit playing after six months dies? Will some museum want those? Somebody out there has warehouses full of cheap guitars from the last 40+ years. Maybe a museum could be built with cheap guitars for walls.
