Until you posted your photos of this museum's exhibits, we would have missed out on knowing about these instruments.<br /><br />Looking at the photos a second time, I want everyone to know about this exhibit.Kathy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18418720666849497808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-80046217767149437102021-12-28T00:37:05.731-07:002021-12-28T00:37:05.731-07:00Yes!Yes!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-67460136073917518652021-12-27T18:17:56.484-07:002021-12-27T18:17:56.484-07:00Yes, I find it amazing that peoples around the wor...Yes, I find it amazing that peoples around the world and in all different levels of development, and with different materials, were able to create instruments and music, as well as to craft art.

Was it listening to a bird sing or wolves howl? We'll never know, but I'd hate to think of a world without music.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-14782623343600530192021-12-27T05:01:10.499-07:002021-12-27T05:01:10.499-07:00Those instruments are amazing, Cathy.

I'm amazed just thinking of that 6,000-yaer-old drum, and what it must have been like to hear it back when it was made. Instruments are such windows on their worlds.Margot Kinberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599589137890528065noreply@blogger.com
