Visitors will receive wireless headsets to wear throughout the museum. As visitors approach different displays they will hear the instruments being played, either solo or as an ensemble. The same music will be played for everyone - but depending on the particular display the instruments will produce their unique sounds to the visitor who is in from of that instrument. There will be photographs and video to further tell about each instrument and to enhance the visitor's experience.

The facility plans to keep entrance fees low at this point so all may be encouraged to come and visit and participate.

There will be approximately 300–350 displays of different instruments. There are some celebrity instruments as well as exhibits that will show the restoration of musical instruments.

What an interesting idea for a museum. I'll have to go visit their web site.

I think my husband still has a kazoo that I'd like to get rid of. LOL

Now that does sound like an interesting museum, I don't think I've ever seen one anything like it.  It's sure to draw a crowd!

Bob & Carolin, this sounds interesting. What will be the most expensive instrument? Will you be allowed to take pictures? I can not wait to hear more about this.

Bob & Carolin,

What a really neat concept.  I have never been to a music instrument museum.  I agree wiht Endre #5, asking if you'll be able to take pics.  If so, maybe you can post some for us????

Quite interesting. It looks like they don't actually have any instruments yet although one of those huge drums from the Beijing Olympics is due to arrive.
