Musical Instrument Museum

Art and Culture in Phoenix

"The only global musical instrument museum in the world, the MIM displays about 68,000 instruments and related artifacts. Paying tribute to these instruments, even the building evokes their shape. A giant double bass greets visitors in the Orientation Gallery, among other instruments. From there, guests head upstairs to the Geographic Galleries where the displayed instruments, related costumes, recordings, and videos take them on a trip around the world. A highlight of any visit, the Hands-On Gallery offers them the chance to play the instruments. Besides the galleries, the museum hosts world-class artists and concerts in its theater." - MATADOR_NETWORK
