On this day in 1958, music icon Prince was born. ☔️
This guitar is shaped like Prince’s famous “Love Symbol,” a glyph he created to express artistic freedom and identity. Fusing the astrological symbols for Mars and Venus, it reflects the blending of masculine and feminine elements that became central to his image and artistry.
The instrument echoes the opening lyrics of the musician’s “I Would Die 4 U” (1984): “I’m not a woman, I’m not a man / I am something that you’ll never understand.”
📣 Now open! See "Musical Bodies," the first major exhibition to explore the relationship between musical instruments and the body by bringing together over 130 instruments, paintings, sculptures, drawings, and more.
