Skinner Pipe Organ Performances

Organ Concerts Have Returned!
Hear the museum’s restored Skinner pipe organ and see the beautifully renovated Mimi and Stuart Rose Auditorium. Matt Dierking from the Dayton Chapter of the American Guild of Organists will perform on the 1st & 3rd Sunday of each month at 2 p.m. (unless otherwise noted).

These informal performances are open to the public and included in the museum’s general admission. You don’t have to stay for an entire performance; feel free to come and go as you like during that time. Please maintain physical distancing of at least six (6) feet between yourself and others not in your party. 

The Skinner pipe organ was installed when the museum building was constructed in 1928-29, and it is one of only a handful of such instruments still in existence!
