Did you know that the world’s oldest known full-size guitar is right here at MIM? Crafted by Belchior Dias more than 400 years ago, this baroque guitar features moveable gut frets that allowed players to alter its pitch and offers remarkable evidence of the earliest days of the world’s most popular instrument.

See it in Rediscover Treasures, presented by US Bank: https://MIM.org/special-exhibitions/r...

Gift of the Robert J. Ulrich and Diane Sillik Fund
