Musical Instrument Museum, Phoenix

Really amazing museum with a ton of artifacts and video explanations. They have an awesome system where a personal set of headphones automatically connects with the video monitors as you approach each monitor. I would highly recommend checking out all the galleries and the special exhibit. It easily takes 3+ hours to view everything and they even sell 2 day passes since there's is a lot of information to absorb here.

Fantastic. It took us 5 hours to go through it all. Great experience. Even the food in the cafe is great. Farm to table. I think its called the Arizona chicken salad. Its perfect.

A great place to listen and learn about music. The MIM is a place filled with over 10,000 instruments ranging from Classical to Electronic. You are given a headset and you can approach screens that will start to play music. Here there are are tons of culture and country's to learn about. It is a very interactive place, but we did have a bit of a bad experience with one of the associates working there. Other than that it is a great place to spend your afternoon!

Absolutely one of the nicest and most interesting museums I'm been to. Displays on famous musicians. Interactive room with drums and harps and even a theremin to try out. Each continent has a large room dedicated to it with native instruments and a TV playing local music and dance styles. The current visiting display 'Dragons and Vines' on the fine art of guitar inlay is absolutely amazing. The staff is wonderful, always available and helpful, but not obtrusive. The tour is self guided by portable headset. The headsets synchronize with whatever display you are at nearly seamlessly. I spent 2.5 hours there and could have spent another hour or two.

Spent a lovely Saturday afternoon with my family here. The docents are excellent people who provide a 45-minute guided tour full of amazing information. The special exhibit was really cool. The Martin exhibit was also exquisite.
