Travel to the Music
Monday, October 4th, 2010Even people who can’t play a note will find a trip to the Musical Instrument Museum a fascinating exploration of music, cultures and instruments. A new museum near Scottsdale in Northern Phoenix, Arizona, it is not quite six months old. The facility itself shows vision, with large spacious galleries, engaging displays and musical instruments of every description – everywhere.
When you arrive, you pay your admission fee ($15 per person for adults) and are handed a set of headphones with a transmitter. Unlike some museums, the music follows you. No need to turn the receiver on or off if you arrive at a display and your timing is off.
