187.7 A Day At The MIM!

Today was another date day and it turned out to be more than I could have imagined. We went to the very recently completed Musical Instrument Museum. The website is www.themim.org.

What made it so great? So many things. It is a magnificent architectural space, it is a global/historical collection of musical instruments, you can hear through ear phones the specific instruments being played as you approach each display, the art inherent in many of the instruments is also featured, and it's fun. There is an area where you and children can play a variety of instruments without being told not to touch. I can hardly wait for my grandsons to come so we can watch their faces as they listen, learn, and play some of the instruments.

Oh, one more thing made it a great date! Because of the weight loss and surgeries, I could walk and enjoy this most wonderful addition to the area we live in. A year ago I wouldn't have been able to do it.

So, if you live here, go to the MIM. And, if you need a reason to visit here and you love music, come to Phoenix! What a gift for all music lovers.
