  • The reviews for the Musical Instrument Museum are generally great, and while our kids had fun, I can't be as enthusiastic as I expected. First, we had an unpleasant interaction in the Experience Gallery, where a Museum docent singled out our three-year-old from all the kids running amok and suggested he would be better in the Family Center because he was using the Remo drums made for kids as "toys" rather than experiencing them as musical instruments, a distinction I still find mystifying. My wife (Kathy S.) wrote about this incident in her own YELP review posted a couple days ago. I'll focus my review on other aspects of our experience at the Museum. Second, upon us entering the Museum we were approached by a very nice volunteer whom we asked about exhibits good for kids - the only place she suggested was the Experience Gallery. Other than banging drums, strumming guitars and ukuleles and hitting a couple gongs - which our kids LOVED - was there anything else oriented to kids? Any exhibits with interactive buttons, simple words and graphics with big letters, and maybe some instructive models detailing, for example, how the musical sound is generated, or how music is read? We looked but came up short - we didn't make it through every gallery but we found no actual exhibits oriented to the younger set. Our kids were not that interested in audio recordings and displays of instruments innovated by local populations in different regions of the world. And that's ok. Not every museum can be or seeks to be great for young kids. Our kids at 3 and 5 probably just weren't ready. Still, they had fun in the Experience Gallery, and maybe we'll try MIM again in a few years. I did like the physical beauty of the facility - the building and grounds are stunning.
