À propos
Faits rapides: Plus de 7 000 instruments provenant de 200 pays remplissent l'immense espace de 200 000 pieds carrés du musée. Vous pouvez emprunter un casque sans fil qui déclenche automatiquement musique et performances à l'approche de chaque exposition, rendant l'expérience vivante.
Points forts: La Experience Gallery vous permet de jouer réellement d'un orgue de théâtre Wurlitzer des années 1920, d'un gamelan balinais et d'un steel drum de Trinité. Les conservateurs maintiennent en permanence 40 à 60 instruments en état de jeu afin que les visiteurs puissent sentir la vibration d'un mbira contre leurs paumes ou pincer un violon mongol à tête de cheval.
Conseils d'initiés
- Arrive right at 9 AM opening so you grab one of the blue visitor headsets before the crowds arrive.
- Skip the crowded Asia gallery first and head straight to the smaller, quieter Africa section where the displays feel more intimate.
- The café serves decent sandwiches and coffee, but the food trucks on East Mayo Boulevard nearby offer better value and more variety.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes since the self-guided route loops almost a mile and a half through all five galleries.
