The Musical Instrument Museum

When we were in Scottsdale, we visited an incredible museum called the Musical Instrument Museum. They had an amazing collection of instruments from all around the world. We spent a couple of hours there but I probably could have spent two days!
One part of the museum was called the "Experience Room" where kids (and adults) could take a turn playing a wide array of instruments. Chris played the harp, drums and even got to bang on a gong. Jonathan had fun banging on all kinds of drums and making sure all the mallets in the room were put back in their proper place!


The museum was divided into different regions of the world and filled with examples of musical instruments from just about every country you can imagine. And we all had headsets that would play examples of the instruments we were seeing when we stood in front of an exhibit. Here is one of Mommy's favorites...
And then there was this unbelievable drum set!
And we took this picture of the accordions for Grandpa T...
It was a fantastic museum, one of the best I've ever seen!
