The International Violin Competition of Indianapolis is regarded as one of the foremost competitions in the world. During each competition, an exhibit is dedicated to an extraordinary musician who has significantly influenced the violin world.
The 2006 installation, shown on the museum's third floor bridge, is dedicated to legendary violinist David Oistrakh, the most famous representative of the Russian violin school and a great master of the 20th century. This pictorial retrospective accompanied by audio recordings chronicles Oistrakh’s career.
