    The Museum of Renaissance Music
    Chelsey Belt
    This week, we’re visiting The Museum of Renaissance Music, or at least, listening to it. Editors Vincenzo Borghetti and Tim Shephard curated this “paper museum,” a book exploring the history of Renaissance music in 100 artifacts. Join us as we peruse these musical objects and their fascinating stories, and enjoy our imagined soundtrack.
