Testimonials “When I go to the Musical Instrument Museum, I feel better about the world, I feel better about humanity, because musical instruments and music-making between all the peoples of the world are related. . . . These instruments bring us together.” ―Mark O’Connor, three-time Grammy-winning musician “Whatever you are picturing in your mind, multiply it by 100 and maybe you’ll get a sense of how cool this place is.” ―Carey Wilson, Facebook review “Many of our students aren’t exposed to the type of culture promoted at the MIM. There is also a special connection some of the students experience when they see their heritage represented at the MIM.” ―Rebecca Welch, teacher “The event last evening was WONDERFUL! The venue was perfect; the set-up was outstanding; the staff was excellent. It was a huge success!” —AT&T
