Summary[edit]

Description

Tree of life sculpture, Metepec, Mexico, 2010. Adrian Luis Ganzalez, maker[1] 

 This Tree of Life illustrates the pervasive role of music in Mexican life.


In the tree, Day-of-the-dead skelton
figures are depicted as musicians
performing at celebrations and events
amid familiar scenes and images from
the Bible.

This quintessential Mexican art form
dates from the 1940s, when potters
began to create elaborate ceramic tree
...


well as family histories and other
meaningful stories.

Adrián Luis González created MIM's tree
in 2010. He belongs to a distinguished
group of artists from the village of
Metepec, just west of Mexico City.

Note: González always inserts an image
...

We read about the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) on Trip Advisor - it was the top rated attraction in Phoenix - and now we can see why! The museum is dedicated to musical instruments from around the world - the collection is fascinating, the exhibits are great and the hands-on displays were fun. We spent almost 5 hours here and still felt rushed - this place is definitely worth a detour.

I know nothing about musical instruments so if you happen to know what a particular instrument is, please feel free to comment on it. I tried to include as many labels as possible.

The museum is in Phoenix, AZ - we visited it in March 2014.
