The Museu has one of the world’s best guitar
collections, and therefore this area is entirely dedicated
to this instrument.
See the work of guitar makers and listen to music
composed for these instruments. Learn who used these
guitars and where they were played.
Well, actually on show is only one half of the collection:
there are more than 40 guitars in the exhibition but
around 100 guitars in total!
In this collection you cannot miss ‘The Lion Guitar’ (one
of the oldest of all) or the famous guitars by Antonio de
Torres (the best guitar maker in history).
Follow in the footsteps of the many 'guitar heroes'
throughout history, from the mid 17th century to the
beginning of the 21st century.
Also, there are some unusual guitars that will be very
amusing to see...
In this magnificent collection, some of the
instruments have been restored. So we can
listen to them being played
