About American Banjo Museum

Hailey Allen asked:
American Banjo Museum was founded by Brady Hunt and Jack Canine is located in Guthrie, Oklahoma. The American Banjo Museum is presently located in Guthrie and is soon to move to the Bricktown entertainment district in downtown Oklahoma City. The Banjo is a four string instrument that evolved in over 350 years in America.
The American banjo Museum strives to promote a deeper understanding and greater appreciation of for this distinctly American instrument that was also a representative of the jazz era of 1920s and 30s. The Museum began with a collection of 60-four string tenor and plectrum banjos, each of which is ornately decorated and designed. The Museum recently acquired 200 banjos made in America (belonging to the jazz era), from a private collection in Germany.
It is believed that the new facility is quite impressive, and features more than just the display of banjos. In fact, plans have been laid for a performance theater with 60 seats, a multimedia exhibit of the history of banjo, vintage Shakey’s Pizza replica, gift shops as well as other accompaniments including classrooms, offices, workshops and snack bar.
The Museum will reposition to Bricktown sometime in the middle of 2009. Once this happens, the residents as well as tourists will have another cool destination to lead to. It is another priceless addition to the already loaded menu of attractions that the Oklahoma City offers. Hotels in Oklahoma City always include American banjo Museum in their tourist itinery, when arranging tours for their guests.
American Banjo Museum is one of its’ kinds, so don’t forget to visit it!
