I didn't think there would be much to see here and I was really happy to be wrong! Thousands of instruments, plus various clothing items all arranged thoughtfully in a cohesive, sprawling display. Workers were helpful, friendly, and welcoming.

When you go in, you're given a headset that will connect to displays all through the museum and let you hear the instruments being played, or interviews with people who are proficient in playing certain instruments, and more. There's a room where you can go play instruments, including banging drums and gongs, strumming guitars and harps, and zinging across xylophones.

There a room of mechanical instruments (player pianos, nickelodeons, etc.) and a demonstration twice daily of their largest, most impressive piece.

The only suggestion I would make is in the Artist Gallery: include more women. Where's the Dolly Parton display? Nina Simone? Janis Joplin?

Other than that it's an excellent museum. There's a lot to see but it's not overwhelming. It's very mobility handicap friendly with wide walkways for wheelchairs, flat surfaces so you don't have to worry about tripping with your cane or walker, and two large elevators that you can easily turn a sheelchair around in. I'm not sure if a scooter would turn around as easily but we saw two or three people there with scooters and they didn't seem to be having trouble navigating.

People with noise and light sensitivity might have some trouble. The noise isn't too bad but the floors are light colored wood and highly polished so if you have trouble with bright light reflecting off surfaces you might have trouble. It's not nearly as bad as the bright white floors at Target.

Overall a great experience. The artifacts, displays, and staff were all great.
