Guitar Museum of New England is dedicated to sharing the story of the guitar builders (luthiers), musicians, and artists who celebrate America's most iconic instrument through education and engagement. Our mission is to inspire curiosity and foster a deeper appreciation for the guitar as an instrument and as an inspiration for music around the world.
Here is a sneak peek of view of what is to come - this pop-up exhibit was featured at The Umbrella Arts Center in Concord, Massachusetts to celebrate the 50-year career of Master Luthier Steve Klein. Klein built iconic guitars for Dan Peek (America), Michael Hedges, Steve Miller, Joni Mitchell, Joe Walsh (The Eagles), and many more. We are in the process of building a new home for the Guitar Museum of New England. In the meantime, watch for pop-up events, concerts, talks, and more!

You can expect more great exhibits like the one in the video above when The Guitar Museum of New England opens in (we hope!) 2028. Want to help us make this dream a reality? Please make a donation to help us open the museum faster. Thank you.
