“Storied Strings: The Guitar in American Art” is on display now at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, 200 N. Arthur Ashe Boulevard, Richmond. The exhibit will be available for viewing through March 19.

Visitors to the museum will be able to experience paintings, sculpture, works on paper, and music in a multimedia presentation that unpacks the guitar’s cultural significance, illuminating matters of class, gender, race, ethnicity, and identity, according to a notice on the museum’s website.

Featuring 125 works of art and 35 musical instruments, the exhibition demonstrates that guitars figure prominently in the visual stories Americans tell, said the notice.

Admission is free for museum members, $16 for adults, $12 for seniors, and $10 for students. Tickets may be purchased online at vmfa.museum or by calling 804-340-1400.
