Did you know there is a banjo museum? The American Banjo Museum is located in downtown Oklahoma City.

The American Banjo Museum has interpretive exhibits as well as video and performance theaters that will make you a witness to the history of the banjo - from its humble African roots through its heyday during the Roaring 20's to its present voice in Bluegrass, folk and world music. As you stroll through elegant galleries on two floors you will find yourself immersed in the sights and sounds of the largest collection of banjos on public display anywhere in the world.

The American Banjo Museum features an impressive 16,000 square feet of gallery and exhibit space. Exhibits on the first floor are designed to introduce the banjo's rich heritage to the banjo novice. As the ABM experience continues, visitors are introduced to the people, music and instruments which have shaped the banjo's identity in today's musical world.
