I was pleasantly surprised when I visited this museum the other day with my parents. When I first came to AZ, I had no dreams of going to this museum. It was only when I heard from others how amazing it was and how one person even cried after visiting that I began to question my initial opinions about MIM.
There are no discount that I know of if you're past 18 yrs of age. So, we paid for three ($20) tickets and received a kind of hefty device and headphones and we began our musical journey.
Highlights of my visit:
1) Learning how pianos are made (video with interviews & deconstructed piano on display) and how cymbals of drum sets are made
2) MIM has Taylor Swift's electric banjo and dresses she's worn at her concerts!!!
3) The Experience Room - you get to hit a huge gong. Nice. and there's a self-playing piano.
It's very soothing to wander around and have music just play (you don't have o press anything!) When my parents and I went, it was around 2pm on a Wednesday so there were barely any people.
