Musical Instrument Museum
Phoenix, Arizona
There's a lot more to the world of instruments than you're going to learn down at your local Guitar Center. Thankfully, that's why there's a place like the Musical Instrument Museum. Founded by a former Target CEO and inspired by the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels, Belgium, MIM is a 200,000 square-foot facility that gives you a taste of music influences from around the world, via a collection of instruments from roughly 200 countries and audio-visual exhibits that let you hear and see the instruments as they would normally be played. Oh, and the building's not too shabby, either.
