The PIANO 300 exhibition at the Smithsonian celebrates the birth of the piano and its three hundred years of influence. As part of the exhibition, there are performances, broadcasts, publications, and public and educational programs.

PIANO 300 explores the piano as a complex machine, a handsome work of decorative art, and the vehicle for a infinite variety of human expression, reflecting technological, cultural, and social changes from the Industrial Revolution through the present day.

The exhibition was open through March 4, 2001 in Washington, D.C.
