Is it possible for the brain to run out of capacity to remember more memories?

Question:

Let's say I try to learn 4 more languages other than what I know now. If I study all the languages, will it be hard for me to store it in my brain? Also when I try learning the piano, violin and guitar. Will that happen to me? Will my brain be filled up that I won't be able to think right and remember things properly?

Will I even remember what I just learned?

Thanks for helpful answers!

Answers:
Actually, I do think your brain sort of "fills up". After all, you can't remember many if any details of your life from ten years ago, right? If you learn a skill (like how to play the guitar or how to speak French) and you don't use it on a regular basis, you won't forget everything, but your skill will decline a lot. Since there are only so many hours in a day, you can only practice so many lauguages, instruments, etc. on a regular basis. So this limits what you can learn. That is my theory. :) (People that know many languages well learned them when they were young and the brain was still growing; that's a different sort of learning and memory than what you have as an adult; the brain is more plastic then )

It hasn't happened yet as the brain seems to adapt quickly and expand as needed.
