The Phoenix/Scottsdale area has a gem that not enough visit. It is the Musical Instrument Museum — MIM.
Currently for the past year they have a special exhibit on the electric guitar history. Everyone should see it if they have a chance. It is easily something to take a half or full day touring if you have never seen it.
I’ve had friends tell me it is well worth visiting, just haven’t made the time yet. The Rock & Roll Museum (or whatever they call it) in Seattle was... well, some parts were neat, others were predictably “Seattle”... I could take or leave that.
I love that the MIM is focused on instrument history. Now I’ve got to schedule a visit! Thanks, KC!
