Closing Soon! Fresh Picks of '26
Every year, The NAMM Show’s Global Media Day gives industry leaders, media and influencers an exclusive first look at the newest instruments, audio gear and music technology. Through live performances, demonstrations and discussions, the event highlights the advancements shaping the future of music.
The Fresh Picks of '26: Highlights from The NAMM Show exhibit brings that experience to the Museum of Making Music by showcasing a selection of instruments and products unveiled during this year’s NAMM Show. Generously loaned by Paul Reed Smith Guitars, Blackstar, Vox, Aileen Strings, Yamaha, Peavey, C.F. Martin & Co., Strandberg Guitars and QSC, these products offer a rare opportunity to see the latest advances in music-making technology up close.
The Museum of Making Music is known for preserving the history and documenting the ongoing story of the musical products industry. Exhibits like Fresh Picks of '26 connect the past with the present, showing how today's ideas, designs and technologies build upon decades of creative progress.
Global Media Day also reflects something central to the museum's core beliefs: music is driven by connections. Instrument makers, engineers, artists, educators, retailers and performers all contribute to the ways people create and experience music. This exhibit offers a window into that creative ecosystem, introducing visitors to the ideas behind the innovations.
MoMM is grateful to industry partners for making this exhibit possible.
Don't miss your chance to see Fresh Picks of '26. The exhibit closes August 15, making this your final opportunity to explore the latest innovations unveiled at the 2026 NAMM Show. Visit before it closes to experience this snapshot of today's musical products and see how the next chapter of music history is already taking shape.
