Descending from West Africa and the Middle East, the banjo is an unmistakable part of country music’s sound. Take a closer look at the banjo’s history, hear a banjo demonstration, and learn about influential banjo player Earl Scruggs. Then, create your own miniature jar lid banjo craft inspired by Scruggs’s Gibson RB-Granada Mastertone banjo in the museum’s Precious Jewel exhibit. A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Scruggs’s invented a banjo picking style that became an essential building block of bluegrass. Recommended for ages five and up, but all are welcome. Guardian is required to be present for children under thirteen.
