| A World of Accordions Museum proudly announces plans to expand its physical outreach into Duluth, MN, through a second museum site specializing in the evolution of electronics in accordion manufacture. This expansion was predicated by the massive collection of George Curletto (Washington, D.C.) donated to AWAM in November, 2018. The museum can now present an accurate overview of the technological evolution of the instrument that has been largely neglected by accordion historians. The number of instruments in this genre has now reached a point where the correct set-ups require more space than they currently have available so they chose to reopen the original home of AWAM in west-Duluth. The 1908 building, designed by Swedish architect Lundquist, is qualified as a state/national historic site and will be advanced as an area attraction. Cosmetic and other improvements to the former church building are expected to be completed in 2019. The photo below shows a portion of the current display in “Sue Spencer and Friends Electronics Room.” This exhibit will stay as part of the main “A World of Accordions Museum” display as a representation of the electronic accordion instruments |
