BC Museum May Have A Strad

“A community museum in British Columbia has discovered a violin in its collection that may be a rare instrument created by 17th-century maestro Antonio Stradivari. The violin has been held at the New Westminster Museum and Archives since the 1980s.” But the violin has yet to be authenticated, and the museum admits that it may well turn out to be a copy. “An authenticated Stradivarius violin typically fetches between $2 million and $3 million.”
