Allow yourself an hour or two if you ONLY visit the “Acoustic America Exhibition”. This will allow you to read and listen to the audio for each item and area of the display. Legendary instruments with a little associated story as well as the musicians.
The museum itself is VERY interesting and well worth a visit. You will need to allow a full day or split into two visits to absorb all the museum has to offer.

Look for future similar events in the future.

The Museum gift shop sells a nice book with photos of each of the exhibit instruments in the show.

The museum’s broader collection of permanent exhibits are equally worth seeing but plan for a whole day or two to see it all.
