Small, personal venue for concerts...went to a Smooth Jazz festival there and it was great quality sound. But, it was not a well-attended concert. If able to get attendance up, it would be a great venue...(other than the fact there is really no waiting area to handle people prior to being allowed into the concert auditorium...) More

Fascinating museum. We go back time and time again. Loved the rock and roll section but was undergoing remodeling last visit. Check before you go to make sure your favorite sections are there. Each genre of music and instrumentation is represented...Take your time... Nice cafe too! More

My husband and I visited the museum on our recent visit to Phoenix. When you enter the museum you get these headphones that allow you to hear music at each of the exhibits. Not only are there hundreds of instruments to view each country has their own exhibit clear back to the beginning of mankind. So many of the instruments... More

A wonderful surprise! Musical instruments from all over the world, arranged by country. I am not a connoisseur, but I was pleasantly surprised to see a really rich collection. I live nearby and I would strongly recommend it to any museum-goer who is visiting the area. Something different and very, very well done! More

Went here by myself one morning and spent over 3 hours looking at the displays and amazing instruments. I found it to be so interesting and I can't even play a kazoo.

The exhibits are very good and the information provided at each stand is just right. The headphones and how they operate when walking in front of the screens is perfect. We had a wonderful time here and could... More

This an extraordinary museum of global musical instruments. You will need at least a half day to experience this museum. Wear good, comfortable walking shoes. There is a lot of standing. The restaurant is delightful. I have been twice in the last year. There are new exhibits to be added. I will be returning again. More

This museum is great. As you wander through different exhibits housing different countries, you see collections of instruments hanging on the walls. You get to see videos of the instruments being used and hear - through headsets - traditional songs for those cultures. Plaques on the wall give you the name and often a short history of the instrument. The... More
