Local Sites: A Musical Experience at The MIM

Even the name sounds enchanting. The MIM, or Musical Instrument Museum here in Phoenix offers a shared experience of the history of musical instruments from all over the world. It features wireless "smart" tours that make each person's experience unique and a grand music theater with must-see concerts almost every night. The MIM showcases the artistry, diversity, and movement of musical instruments. Doesn't it sound fun?

Located just off the 51 and 101 juncture, the MIM is a high tech, brand new facility that beautifully educates and interacts with guests of all ages. There is much to see and do at the MIM.

One upcoming event: the MIM will honor the life of the legendary John Lennon on the occasion of what would have been his 70th birthday. Enjoy a special day of events and music celebrating Lennon's legacy of peace and love on Saturday, October 9 from 9:00 a.m – 5:00 p.m. There will be a free concert of Lennon/Beatles' songs in the MIM Music Theater plus complimentary cupcakes for guests while they last.
