360 Degrees of KEITH EMERSON

WALK AMONG THE MAESTRO'S INSTRUMENTS AND BE WHERE HE DID HIS BEST WORK. STAND IN THE SHADOW OF MOOG SYNTHESIZER AND IN FRONT OF HIS TARKUS HAMMOND ORGAN, GET UP CLOSE TO HIS STEINWAY AND EXPERIENCE THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE MASTER.

Keith Emerson was one of the world's undisputed champions of keyboard prowess, technical skill and passion for composition and performance. His musical weapons were highly customized, precision instruments built for his musical needs and the rigors of the road.

Take this opportunity to stand where he stood and feast your eyes on what Keith saw at every performance, his trustworthy keyboard instruments. Stand within a veritable buffet of his synthesizers, tonewheel organs, advanced workstation controllers, even his beloved 1904 Steinway grand piano.

This curated exhibit spans much of his career and it showcases his one-of-a-kind, custom Moog modular synthesizer that has become an icon of progressive rock music.
We encourage you to partake of Emerson's musical legacy, whether you listen to his recordings with a band, with Keith playing solo piano or musical soundtrack.

This 360-degree experience lets you walk through our Keith Emerson exhibit and put your eyes on the machines that you may have seen live in concert, listened to on recordings, or just heard about from adoring fans.
