Absolutely fabulous! I didn't expect to be so impressed with this museum, but I was blown away. It's extremely wellorganized and there's a lot of info to take in. Allow 6h for visiting this museum.
allow yourself at least 3 or 4 hours and you still won’t complete it all. The special exhibit on the history of the electric guitar was great. If you like music of any kind I highly recommend
If you believe music is a thread of global nonverbal communication, that helps define a world culture, and you are a curious sort, this is for u. One of the best museums on the planet.
Wow. What a pleasant surprise for a museum. We spent about three hours here and easily could have spent the whole day if we had the time. The Artist Gallery was a favorite.
Listen to music from over 200 different countries. You'll walk through each exhibit with headphones so this exhibit is good to visit if traveling alone. Each month they have a special exhibit as well.
You cannot come to this place too many times. Even as a totally blind person, the experience is phenomenal as long as you come with a sighted person, or get a docent to tour with you.
MIM is an essential Phoenix stop! Get here early, take your time. Take a break for lunch in their terrific café. And have fun banging gongs, taiko, and gamelan in the Experience Music room!
If you like to learn in an exciting way, then this is a great venue. It has history, events and hands on activities. The event that showcased iconic women was interesting.
With 15,000 instruments from 200 countries, the Musical Instruments Museum has exhibits dating back 7,000 years. Clever technology lets you hear (and see) them in historical context. Essential.
