Laurent made similar flutes for other notable historic figures, including James Madison and Napoleon’s brother Louis. Thank you, Jasmine, for breathing life into this 213-year-old masterpiece!

Our newest special exhibition opens tomorrow, November 7! 😍 In anticipation of The Magical Flute: Beauty, Enchantment, and Power, we are highlighting flutes that emphasize the exhibition’s third theme: power. Power encompasses the flute’s symbolic, spiritual, and social significance, whether in sacred rituals or expression of identity. Curator for United States / Canada Rich Walter, PhD, says, “There are outstanding flutes in this exhibition that demonstrate musical and social power, but we have all been reminded that flutes represent the beginnings of humans making music. There really couldn’t be a story more deep or powerful than an instrument that inspired music from the very start.” Here are three flutes in the exhibition that exemplify some of the ways that powerful flutes represent status, esteem, and cultural legacy. 1) A crystal flute made for Napoleon Bonaparte, Paris, France, 1813 2) A Qing dynasty paixiao, China, 19th c. 3) A flute made from a repurposed rifle barrel, Nez Perce people, Idaho, USA, late 19th c. Learn more about these flutes and more than 100 others when The Magical Flute: Beauty, Enchantment, and Power opens tomorrow, November 7.
