Listen for the sound of music...instruments that is

While in Phoenix we discovered the Musical Instrument Museum - which opened last April. It is simply a gorgeous building with the most amazing interactive displays.



Once you have paid your admission you are given a pocket receiver w/head phones and given instruction as to how it provides you with hands-free remote audio play.As you approach a display the receiver plays the music that is being demonstrated on LCD flat screen TVs. As you approach or depart it will fade in and out until you arrive at the next display.

Mexico - Tree of Life

There were displays on how Steinway makes a piano - parts of an actual piano are on view.

Almost every country and musical style was on display - although we were there for several hours it is hard to imagine that we got to see it all.

Until next time...safe travels.
