The MIM, Musical Instrument Museum of Phoenix, far exceeded our wildest imagination as a place of interest. For four hours we walked from continent to continent, astounded by the number of musical instruments and the sounds, fascinated by the cultural information and artistry, and enchanted by the historical connections and the relevance to today.
With earpieces balanced on our heads and black box receivers hanging around our necks, we wound our way from country display to country display around the world, trying to read, visualize and listen to everything all at once. The museum, a magical place, came alive with each step. Even turning from side to side activated different screens and different instruments, the harmony and cacophony all blending into a musical potpourri.

"You can't describe it, Sue," said Shannon. "You just have to experience it."
The most extraordinary museum you'll ever hear travels through space and time musically like nothing you can imagine!
