Los Angeles County Museum of Art released at least 24,000 images into the public domain. The art objects in this collection are in this category. Today LACMA is the largest art museum in the western United States, with a collection that includes nearly 130,000 objects dating from antiquity to the present, encompassing the geographic world and nearly the entire history of art.
Musical instruments from Central Asia include the dombra, a long-necked lute with a distinctive twangy sound; the komuz, a three-stringed lute made from wood; and the rubab, a plucked string instrument with a deep, resonant sound. Other instruments from the region include the chang, a type of harp; the daf, a large frame drum; and the surnai, a type of oboe. Central Asian music often features intricate rhythms and melodies, and many traditional songs are accompanied by dance.
