Description
The Musical Instrument Museum (The MIM) in Phoenix is a must-see for music lovers of all ages. Opened in 2010, MIM is the largest museum of its kind in the world. The collection of thousands of musical instruments and associated objects includes examples from nearly 200 countries and territories, representing every inhabited continent. Visitors can explore musical traditions from every continent, and learn about the history and construction of instruments ranging from ancient pyramids to modern synthesizers.
The museum's Music Theater seats 300 people and features live concerts that complement the permanent collection and changing exhibitions. Other attractions include a cafe, a gift shop and an interactive children's gallery.
Tips
The MIM's collection is extensive, to say the least as it encircles the globe many times over. The self-guided audio tour plays along with you as you move from exhibit to exhibit. The best place to start is with the introduction video that plays every 5 minutes. You may not want to go with the intention of seeing the whole thing as there is so much to take in. And there are always other happenings going on campus such as free concerts in the lobby.
Make a day out of it and and include tickets to one of their amazing concerts from world class artists. You can break up the day by heading to The District (right on the other side of the highway) and have a bite to eat at one of the many unique restaurants.
