We're into the final stretch of our 50th year, and we're getting geared up to go out in style. Starting today, we're unveiling some delightful new collections content. Written by our curator Ana Sofia Silva, we're happy to release "Digging the Fifties," a special article and blog series dedicated to exploring some lesser seen objects from the NMM archives while celebration 50 years of musical magic. DIGGING THE FIFTIES: A CURATORIAL PERSPECTIVE ON 50 OBJECTS FROM THE NMM COLLECTIONS By Ana Sofia Silva, Curator The special exhibition “As Good as Gold: The First 50 Years (1973–2023)” is showcasing part of the history of the National Music Museum (NMM) through a small selection of treasured musical instruments, highlighting important timeline periods of its collecting process in the past 50 years. However, the NMM collections are vast and comprehensive, and with this special occasion, the author saw the opportunity to write about some objects that are not so widely known. Therefore, in addition to the special treasures being celebrated, 50 objects from the musical instrument collection were chosen to be featured in this article. As an adequate (and “fair”) requisite, the objects were selected within the group of catalog numbers ending in 50. The selected objects were chosen for their interesting stories, whether these relate to particulars of the instruments themselves, like unusual shapes and mechanisms, or to the people connected to their making, provenance, or collection. The article itself was not meant to be an exhaustive essay about each instrument, but merely a brief presentation or a “curatorial perspective” on what the author thinks makes each one of these objects special in the collections of the NMM. After all, collections are fundamental for documenting and preserving history, and at the NMM, objects can tell many different stories of music, culture, and people.

It was great to have Will's insights in the first workshop of our new Let's Get Real programme. Our group will be experimenting around aspects of digital and value over the next few months. There's so much rich thinking around this topic, and so many issues to unpick around expectations, practice, capacity, skills, strategy and more. Our challenge now, is how to focus in on the starting points for each of our wonderful cohort organisations. We'll share learning as we go...
