On display…
Indigenous instruments from around the world (but mostly from Africa). These instruments were collected by Phyllis and Walter Loeb, who generously donated the instruments to the Lenox Library this fall. Mangbetu harps with carved heads, gourd rattles and sistrums, monkey drums and a thumb piano are included in this display. The creativity in making music out of found objects is inspiring.
The display is located on the second floor, just before the entry to the Dome Room.
