If you’re a music lover who enjoys traveling, there are many ways to combine your two passions into one. You can go to concerts, visit opera houses, and explore places that your favorite musicians enjoyed—but have you ever considered visiting a museum dedicated to musical instruments?
If this sounds like the kind of experience you’d like, you should put the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, Arizona on your bucket list. It’s the world’s largest establishment of its kind, and it houses over 15,000 musical instruments from nearly 200 countries around the world.
This museum is divided into two levels, and we wouldn’t judge you if you spent an entire day exploring them. Instruments from different parts of the world are displayed on the upper level, while the ground floor features the experience gallery where you can interact with the instruments, and the artists gallery with instruments used by famous musicians, including Elvis Presley and John Lennon, and so much more.
The Musical Instrument Museum is open daily between 9 am-5 pm, and general admission is priced at $20. It’s located in the Desert Ridge area of Phoenix, and you can reach it by car or by bus from the city center.
