It will centre on the idea that ‘Music is Craft’ and will explore the incredible techniques, precious materials and beautiful patterns the instruments are made with. It will be a sneak peak of the 蜜桃TV Museum’s new home, currently being built as part of the More Music: Reimagining the Royal College of Music project, supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
