At the end of 2020, Powerhouse acquired an important private collection of keyboards from the middle of the 20th century. Electric Keys presented these keyboards with our existing collection of mechanical instruments and synthesisers. The exhibition explored modern keyboard development and its contribution to the genres of jazz, pop, rock, soul and prog-rock.
