Musical Instrument Museum
By Linda Tancs
Realizing that most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) founded Musical Instrument Museum, a new kind of museum focusing on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide. Thus, the facility boasts a collection of more than 7,500 instruments from more than 200 countries and territories. The experience also includes music-based learning for all ages, over 300 concerts and an interactive exhibit where guests can see the instruments, hear their sounds and observe them being played in their original contexts. Located in Phoenix, Arizona, the museum is open daily.
