DISTINCTIVE
The Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) celebrates music as all of these things—a sustaining human gift and wellspring of global culture. We invite people from every nation and walk of life to come and share in this common legacy, be amazed by the beauty and diversity of musical instruments from all across the globe, and be enriched by their sounds and the stories they have to tell.
ABOUT
As an event destination, MIM offers a variety of options that can harmonize with any occasion. The versatility of the space, combined with its stylish architecture, high level of personal comfort, and distinctive setting, provides the perfect blend of creativity and functionality for events of all types. A location should work with you to ensure that your event sings. Personal advice on everything— from preferred vendors and menu planning to site design and, of course, musical entertainment— is the mark of a location that provides not only beautiful scenery but also impeccable assistance.
Music is something all humans share, a source of beauty and comfort in our daily lives, a means to give voice to our joy in times of celebration, and a powerful force that brings us all together. Music is the lifelong friend that we all have in common.
