The Mud to Music exhibition displayed musical instruments composed of clay and porcelain from the Sheldon Art Galleries’ Hartenberger World Music Collection. These instruments, used in all parts of the world for thousands of years, tell the story of dynamic human experiences throughout history. Instruments on display are from a wide variety of regions, including Mexico, China and France, and range in date from 100 B.C.E. through the 1980s.
