The museum’s core collection of instruments are the ornately decorated banjos made in America during the Jazz Age of the 1920’s and 30s. As entertainment of the 20s and 30s was a flamboyant “in person” experience, the banjos from this era featured a decorative and ornate design, with exotic woods, inlays of ivory and mother-of-pearl, jewels, as well as hand carving and painting, which makes each banjo a work of art in itself. Seating is limited, so purchase your tickets in advance for $20 by calling the American Banjo Museum at 405.604.2793. The museum is located in Bricktown at 9 East Sheridan.
