This week, the internet trotted out the anecdote that when someone asked Eric Clapton what it was like to be the greatest guitar player in the world, he responded: “I don’t know, ask Prince.”

The incident never happened as far as anyone can tell, but here’s another way to honor Prince’s legendary guitar talents: visit his “Yellow Cloud Guitar” at the National Museum of American History.

The Smithsonian put it on special display today, and will leave it up through September 5.

The guitar was designed by Prince himself—his personal symbol is on the top and side of the fingerboard—and made by Minneapolis’ Knut-Koupee Enterprises in 1989.

“It tells lots of stories,” Eric Jentsch, deputy chair of the American History Museum’s division of culture and the arts, told Smithsonian magazine. “It’s not just about Prince as a performer, it’s also about how Prince and his work have become part of our American culture.”

For a tour-de-Prince, you can also find his photograph at the National Portrait Gallery (on view until May 31) and, eventually, some of his possessions at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
