奇美博物館於2009年與故宮博物院合作展出了《絕色名琴》，帶領觀眾走過提琴四百年的悠久歷程。

除了提琴的展出之外貝克父子提琴應奇美博物館的邀請，特別規劃了一個提琴製作工作室場景，並邀請貝克家族的第三代傳人Jennifer Becker 來台，現場示範提琴製作過程，並根據提琴的材料與結構做詳盡介紹，讓觀眾感受製琴師與提琴的親密關係，不僅讓觀眾更深入了解提琴的藝術與工藝，也讓整個展覽更加富有教育意義。

本次展覽精選了四十把名琴，涵蓋了最受矚目的義大利三大製琴家族，其中 13 把琴由台灣貝克父子 提琴經手奇美基金會收藏。最為引人注目的是其中一組全球唯一的「馬吉尼四重奏」，其中的— 把小提琴與大提琴，均由貝克父子提琴提供，讓奇美得以完成這樣一項稀世之作收列。

令人津津樂道別名為「奇美」(Chimay)的大提琴，完成於 1610 年，曾經是王室「奇美王子」繼承珍藏。隨後的幾百年，這把大提琴歷經數次易主，宛如冥冥中的命運最終跨越重洋來到台灣。2006 正式進駐奇美博物館，成為其中的珍貴收藏之一。目前全球 僅存六把馬吉尼大提琴，這使得「奇美」更顯得彌足珍貴。貝克父子提琴肩負著這樣的使命， 讓百年漂泊的奇美王子終於在奇美博物館停泊港灣。

In 2009, the Chimei Museum collaborated with the National Palace Museum to present the exhibition Masterpieces of Violins, taking audiences on a journey through the 400-year history of the violin.

In addition to the violin displays, the Beckers, a family of violin makers, were invited by the Chimei Museum to design a special violin-making workshop scene. Jennifer Becker, the third-generation heir of the Becker family, was invited to Taiwan to demonstrate the violin-making process on-site. She provided detailed explanations of the materials and structure of violins, allowing the audience to experience the intimate relationship between the violin maker and the instrument. This not only offered a deeper understanding of the art and craftsmanship of violin making but also added significant educational value to the entire exhibition.

This exhibition features a selection of forty renowned violins, including masterpieces from the three most prominent Italian violin-making families. Among them, 13 violins were acquired by the Chimei Foundation through the efforts of Taiwan's Becker & Sons Violins. The highlight of the collection is the world's only Magini Quartet, which includes a violin and a cello provided by Becker & Sons, enabling Chimei to assemble this rare and extraordinary set.

One of the most talked-about pieces is a cello known as "Chimay," completed in 1610. It was once part of the royal collection of the "Prince of Chimay." Over the following centuries, the cello changed hands multiple times, as if guided by destiny, ultimately crossing the oceans to arrive in Taiwan. In 2006, it became a treasured addition to the Chimei Museum's collection. Today, only six Magini cellos are known to exist worldwide, making "Chimay" an exceptionally rare gem. Becker & Sons Violins took on the mission of ensuring that the long-journeying "Prince of Chimay" finally found its resting place at the Chimei Museum.
