About American Banjo Museum

The American Banjo Museum fills a 21,000-square-foot, two-level building on East Sheridan Avenue in Oklahoma City's Bricktown. Galleries follow the instrument from its roots in the 1600s through the minstrel and classical eras, the 1920s, bluegrass and the folk boom, and the Learning Lounge lets you try a banjo with instructional videos. The museum's Hall of Fame inducts new members each September during Banjo Fest. It is open Tuesday to Saturday 11am to 6pm and Sunday noon to 5pm, and adult admission is $8.
