Discover how a family of accordion makers from rural Sweden created an international music sensation: the electric Hagstrom guitar. A favorite with rockstars including Elvis Presley and Frank Zappa, the glittery guitars became a Swedish icon nearly as big as the Dala Horse. Pick your favorite guitar and rock in this playful retrospective. ASI hosts a series of concerts throughout the exhibition featuring local artists jamming on Hagstrom guitars.
