It was supposed to create a space with an artistic spirit in addition to the renovation of a musical instruments store. in fact, the project goal was not just to show the instrument. For this purpose, by making changes such as removing the small balcony of the project, a higher space was available for the design. The back part of the store was also assigned to the storage space for equipment and also the rest area for the employees.

This summer, my slowly improving leg health meant that Denis and I got out and about more. But when it's well over 100°F. in the shade, we opted for checking out indoor venues. A few weeks ago, we acted on a recommendation given to me by author Jenn McKinlay many moons ago and visited the Musical Instrument Museum. What a fabulous place! Denis and I spent so much time there and took so many photos that it's taken me a while to sort through everything. Today's post will give you an overview of the museum's purpose as well as a look at some of the exhibits that you will find on the first floor. As much time as we spent on the first floor, we really lost our minds of the second floor, and that's going to take more than one future post to give you an idea of what this incredible place is like. Let's get started! From the museum website. I fell in love with the architecture and the landscaping, both perfectly suited to the surrounding desert. From the website: "MIM [Musical Instrument Museum] began with a vision to create a musical instrument museum that would be truly global. Realizing most musical museums featured historic, primarily Western classical instruments, MIM’s founder Bob Ulrich (then CEO of Target Corporation) was inspired to develop a new kind of museum that would focus on the kind of instruments played every day by people worldwide." The Musical Instrument Museum is one of the top tourist destinations in the Phoenix metro area and is rated among the top fifteen museums in the country. Why it took so long for Denis and I to visit, I will never know. MIM is a Phoenix Point of Pride. The museum is filled with quiet spots looking out at nature. This one also looks out on the outside eating area next to the cafe. An Electraglide guitar made in the Highlands of Scotland. Not all of the instruments are as "normal" looking as this one, however. I'm still trying to imagine a pigeon that would put up with having this on its tail. A lute made from an armadillo shell?!? A pair of setoes (arched harps) from the Ngbaka people in the Ubangi River Region in Africa. Each instrument's body and sound in this male and female pair stand as metaphors for human/spiritual embodiment and "voice." One of the museum's conservation areas. The entrance to the Artist Gallery. I loved the different types of marble used in the floor. Have you ever heard John Denver sing "This Old Guitar"? This is the guitar. The "Plum Blossom" robe worn by Rockmore at the 1994 New York Film Festival screening of Steven M. Martin's film "Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey." I loved the detail on the robe and was thrilled to find out that the museum held more than musical instruments. You know me and textiles... Just the beginning of a large exhibit on Elvis. Natch! Another cool and quiet spot for a little contemplation. A large kempul (gong) from Indonesia. There is a large Experience Gallery on the first floor filled with all sorts of musical instruments that you can play. I actually checked something off my bucket list here. I've always wanted to bang a gong, and I gave this kempul a couple of good whacks. One: that beater (mallet) is a lot heavier than I expected. Two: I want one here at Casa Kittling... ooooh, Denis! The museum shop is also on the first floor, and it's filled with goodies. I bought two things on this, our first visit. The pack of Dia de los Muertos-themed playing cards will go on my offrenda at the end of the month. Growing up, my mother and I would go to my grandparents' house for Saturday dinner and an hour or two of playing various card games before adjourning to watch my grampa's favorite, "The Lawrence Welk Show." The basket is made from telephone wire. It all started as a recycling project in South Africa but has now turned into a thriving cottage industry for talented Zulu weavers living in rural areas. How thriving? Over 700 families are supported by weaving these baskets. I know I'll be getting more. I love them! A pair of atingtings (slit drums) from Vanuatu outside the museum. If you liked the first floor, you're going to love the second floor! I hope you'll be joining me on my next visit to the Musical Instrument Museum.
LOS ANGELES, California – In accordance with its commitment to using world-class technology to educate visitors on the history of all forms of music, The GRAMMY Museum® recently added 200 customized HARMAN’s AKG headphones for its exhibits and programs. Part of the LA LIVE complex in downtown Los Angeles, The GRAMMY Museum is an interactive celebration of the power of music, occupying four floors and 30,000 square feet of exhibits, interactive experiences and films that provide museum-goers with perspective on the history of music, the creative process, the art and technology of recording, and the history of the GRAMMY® Awards. To deliver clear and immersive audio to its visitors, The GRAMMY Museum turned to AKG, whose world-class headphones and microphones are used by some of music’s most accomplished artists and producers. In fact, AKG is a GRAMMY winner of its own, earning a Technical GRAMMY in 2010 in recognition of AKG’s contributions to the art and science of music recording and performance through innovation and excellence in product design. “When The GRAMMY Museum opened in 2008, we outfitted the entire museum with HARMAN Professional audio equipment, and it has been an incredibly successful relationship from the beginning,” said Eric Stock, Senior Manager, Production and Interactive Design for The GRAMMY Museum. “We are happy to continue this relationship with the addition of these custom AKG headphones, which will only add to the interactive experience of the Museum.” “Given the number of GRAMMY-winning music professionals who have used AKG equipment over the years, and considering AKG’s own Technical GRAMMY in 2010, the history of AKG and the history of popular music go hand in hand,” said Karam Kaul, Director of Marketing for AKG. “We are honored to have so many visitors learning about music history every day through our products, and we hope their use of AKG gives them an even greater understanding of the tools that are used by the best in the business.” More information on AKG’s products can be found on www.akg.com/pro HARMAN (www.harman.com) designs, manufactures and markets premier audio, visual, infotainment and enterprise automation solutions for the automotive, consumer and professional markets.
