Over the past decade the Great American Songbook Foundation has proudly offered free, educational exhibits in its gallery space located in Carmel, Indiana.

  

Please note: Due to the current surge in COVID-19 cases and growing health and safety concerns over the Omicron variant, the Songbook Exhibit Gallery is TEMPORARILY CLOSED for the safety of visitors and staff. In the meantime, please access The Soundtrack of the 20s/20s online or scroll down to explore our full collection of online exhibits. Check back regularly for updates, as we expect to re-open soon!

 

Upon returning to normal visiting hours, the Songbook Exhibit Gallery will welcome visitors Monday through Friday, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm to explore our current exhibition, From the Jazz Age to Streaming: The Soundtrack of the 20s/20s.
