The MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) had its grand opening in Phoenix, Arizona off Tatum and Mayo Boulevards just over a year ago.  They spared no expense in creating this amazing one-of-a-kind facility, from the beautifully finished music theater to the displays of instruments, costumes and artwork from around the world.  Even the “Café at MIM” has received recognition by local Arizona food critics for using high quality food that’s often locally grown.

When you first walk up to the building you cannot help but notice the beautiful architecture.  Upon entering you will be greeted by a friendly staff that is happy to answer any questions and point you in the right direction.  The tour begins on the lower level and makes its way up stairs to explore 5 major regions of the world. These regions include Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and the United States of America.

Whether you are a diehard music lover or just wanted to see what the buzz is all about you will be pleased you made it to the MIM.  Plus, who in their right mind wants to be outside when its 100 degrees.  For more information on the MIM please visit www.themim.org or call (480)478-6000.
