Ep 23: Marson Collection Revealed: Part 1 with Dr Kirsty Gillespie Museum Revealed
-
- Society & Culture
From celebrations to break-ups, good times to sad times, there's no doubt music is a major part of our lives. Music is a form of self-expression, and something that we as humans can all relate and connect to on an emotional level.
Over two episodes we are going to reveal a special "living" collection which consists of 830 traditional musical instruments from around the world. So join me, Laura Cantrell, museum graphic designer and sometimes podcast host, as we take a musical journey through the Marson Collection with museum honorary Dr Kirsty Gillespie.
What is the Marson Collection?
In 2002 Charles and Kati Marson donated more than 800 musical instruments to Queensland Museum in partnership with the Queensland Conservatorium at Griffith University. This unique collection was donated with the intention that the instruments would be available to be accessed and played by musicians with the appropriate knowledge.
