The musical instrument galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York reopened on Tuesday following an eight-month renovation. The new displays feature 230 instruments, many of which are new acquisitions or have only rarely been displayed in the past.

The museum’s collection includes over 3,000 musical instruments. Among the most historically significant are a number of Stradivari instruments, including a 1714 cello, and a piano made by Bartolomeo Cristofori in 1720, which is considered to be the earliest piano in existence.

Another major musical instrument museum will open to the public next month, in Phoenix, Arizona. Founded and funded by Robert J. Ulrich, the former chairman of the Target shop chain, the Phoenix museum has accumulated an initial collection of around 12,000 instruments from around the world. The choice of Phoenix as the location for the museum was partly due to the city’s high visitor numbers, a result of its relative proximity to both Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.
