Summary[edit]

Description
  • Muyu (slit drum), Hubei Province, China, 2009[1] [Dragon in sky blue, green and yellow]
  • Alphorn (natural horn), Brunofweid, Kriens, Switzerland, 2008-2009; J. Stocker (maker)[1]

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.
