"We attended Tony Bennett's concert on 6/6/10 at the Dodge Theatre and he raved about this museum - apparently when he travels he visits museums in that community. \n\nSo we took Tony's suggestion and it was well worth the admission price. They have you start on the 1st floor with a couple of exhibits and then go upstairs. At the admission desk, you are given what looks like a walkman with headphones and these work only on the 2nd floor to listen to the all the music privately. We noticed a number of people had their headphones on while on the 1st floor (I don't think they listened to the instructions properly).\n\nThe 2nd floor is where you'll find the permanent exhibits - lots to see and more to come. You'll also learn a lot geographically about these countries.\n\nOn the 1st floor is the Artist's gallery where there are exhibits on loan from many famous musicians such as - Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Paul Simon, Louis Bellson, George Benson and the Jonas Bros. (not sure what is up with that-probably for the young ones). And also, on the 1st floor is the Experience room - where you have the opportunity to try out several instruments - string, percussion (they also have a huge gong there). That was great fun regardless of your age.\n\nA cafe is located on the lst floor also with an auditorium and museum shop. We did not make use of the cafe or auditorium - museum shop is really nice and not too expensive.\n\nOverall, we spent over 3 hours there - well worth the admission price. Enjoy!!!"^^ .
