| - The MIM is very impressive. Gorgeous building, great layout, an amazing amount of instruments and info. Downstairs they had features on mechanical instruments (instruments that don't need a person to play), artist features (Lennon, Clapton, Dick Dale, etc.), guitars, and an interactive section where you can play some instruments. Upstairs is where is gets impressive. There are 196 countries on this planet and 193 are represented in this museum as well as certain territories with specific cultures. Each country has it's own section with a plaque of info, musical instruments from that country, a flat screen with footage of people playing music from there with a censor that detects your audio guide and automatically plays it. Awesome! The only possible negative would be that it can be overwhelming, but slow down and just walk by each region and your audio guide will play you a piece.
