Guitar: The Instrument that Rocked the World, will be at the Science Museum of Virginia from Saturday, October 13, 2012 through Friday, January 4, 2013.This interactive exhibit "explores all facets of the world's most popular instrument, from its history as an instrument of popular culture over the past 400 years to the science of creating sound with wood and steel."  In honor of the guitar, which "is the single most enduring icon in American history," I share photos of the instrument at home. 


"The architects extended the language of the glass and steel windows to the master bedroom. [Emily] Robison's studio, home to her instruments (and Grammy awards), was originally the nursery. The glass wall made it easy for her to keep 
a maternal eye on her infant twins."

"Of course, no musician's home would be complete without a state-of-the-art recording studio. Lindsey's is located beneath the garage for soundproofing and boasts a soundboard so large it had to be lowered in with a crane. Since it is fully equipped with comfortable furniture, a bathroom, and a kitchenette, 'a few guys working full days have all they need so they never have to come into the main house,' [wife] Kristen says."
