The Bob Moog Foundation is excited to announce a weekend-long exhibit of four Minimoog prototypes at the Moogseum, located in Asheville, NC. The exhibit is offered in partnership with the Museum of Music Technology (MMT), which proudly stewards the prototypes as part of its vast collection of synthesizers and other music technology in Harleysville, Pennsylvania. The temporary exhibit will take place over one weekend, from November 14th through November 16th, marking the 55th anniversary of the first Minimoog being shipped on November 19, 1970.
Members of the MMT staff will be on hand to answer questions about the prototypes and the Moogseum is extending its hours to accommodate the interest in the exhibit, and will be open from 10-6 all three days.
“The Bob Moog Foundation is thrilled to be sharing the storied history of the legendary Minimoog through this weekend-long exhibit,” noted Michelle Moog-Koussa, Executive Director of the Bob Moog Foundation. “This will mark the first time that all four prototypes are exhibited together at a museum outside of the Museum of Music Technology. The exhibit will trace the rich history of this seminal instrument that helped bring synthesis to the gigging musician, and through them to a world of music enthusiasts.”
Guided tours with Michelle Moog-Koussa will also be available starting at 9:00 am each day. This option is only available to ticketholders for the Minimoog Prototypes Exhibit. This option is available as an add-on; scroll to the bottom of the ticket page to select it.
