The violin by Antonio and Girolamo Amati (Cremona, ca. 1595), bearing the armorials of King Henry IV of Navarre and France (1553-1610) that was presented to the NMM on May 14, 2010, by Kevin Schieffer (Sioux Falls), was revealed to the public in its new display case on September 24, 2010. The timing of the unveiling, which took place during the annual fall Member and Trustee Reception, was scheduled to honor the 400th anniversary of the requiem mass held for Henry IV in the Medici family church of San Lorenzo, in Florence, Italy, on September 16, 1610. The royal violin, along with its 18th-century case made during the reign of Louis XVI, are now on permanent display in the NMM's first floor hallway, near the entrance to the Rawlins Gallery.
