I’d had a couple of people recommend the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) in Phoenix to me, and so on a recent trip to Arizona, we made a point of visiting this Smithsonian affiliate, and were really glad we did. It is the world’s only global musical instrument museum. the musical instrument museum offers great insight into […]
As you’ve probably realized from the past couple of posts, We really loved spending time in Scottsdale, Arizona.
