Exclusive to the Art Gallery of Ballarat, the exhibition features 40 iconic guitars on loan from the National Guitar Museum (USA) alongside an awe-inspiring assemblage of photographs, paintings, drawings, illustrative designs, and objects.
The far-reaching collection of classical to contemporary works on display track the history of the world's most popular instrument from its medieval beginnings through to the guitar's pivotal role in blues, country, and rock 'n' roll.
Celebrate the history and stories behind the instruments that made the stars. Experience up close rare guitars and artefacts in this epic exhibition narrating the history, evolution and design of the guitar covering all music genres and all uses.
Through this all-encompassing exhibition, music lovers can trace the history of the world's most popular instrument through a nostalgic photography collection of iconic images taken by renowned rock photographer Neil Zlozower alongside photographic works by Australian music documenter Tony Mott.

Medieval to Metal encompasses the journey of the guitar through creativity, innovation, and cultural catalysts.
From medieval beginnings through to the guitar's pivotal role in pop culture, the exhibition will include a collection of music-inspired masterpieces from Australian institutions and newly acquired works in the Art Gallery of Ballarat collection, representing almost two centuries of music symbolism in culture and art.
