Instruments are meant to be played, the same way books are meant to be read. Seeing an instrument silent like that is kind of like seeing an embalmed body… but then, museums keep them too, don’t they?(Incidentally, I was a the Science Museum this weekend too, but didn’t see the all instruments because I spent so long in the Energy Hall and the 1001 Inventions exhibit. I’m just glad I’m going back in April!) |
