Amplified
Tuesday, September 29
Exploration Place

The electric guitar is considered the most popular musical instrument of our time. Its presence is found throughout popular culture, both as sound and image. Like all things, it has an origin story. In the 1920s, the electrical amplification of sound emerged, and a race to apply this technology to musical instruments began. Further advancements provided new opportunities – to electrify the guitar and change the world. The instrument’s initial evolution took 40 years to unfold. In this exhibition, that story is told through 15 pivotal and historic instruments.

When Guitar Heroes Came to Wichita Gallery

Celebrate the legendary musicians who brought unforgettable performances to Wichita and helped shape generations of guitar music. Featuring iconic guitars, historic concert photography, and stories behind their local performances, this gallery showcases Wichita’s rich live music history and the artists who inspired generations of fans.
