Four (4) Admission Passes to the Museum of Making Music.
Founded in 1998 by the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), the Museum of Making Music, a Division of the NAMM Foundation, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
The Museum of Making Music is an interactive journey through a century of instrument innovations that helped shape American popular music. The museum features over 450 vintage instruments, hundreds of audio & video clips, and a unique interactive stage where visitors can create music on a variety of hands-on instruments.
The museum is an educational adventure everyone can enjoy! The Museum was developed to showcase and celebrate the music products industry. Soon thereafter, in March 2000, the Museum was opened to the public. For over ten years, the Museum has provided opportunities for cultural enrichment while preserving our musical heritage through special exhibitions, innovative concerts and educational programs aimed toward a wide range of audiences.
On permanent display are hundreds of vintage instruments, audio and video clips, and a vibrant interactive area. Organized chronologically, each gallery features the historic milestones, popular music and instruments of those eras. A snapshot of music business practices and nostalgic re-creations of music stores provide a glimpse into the music products industry.
Special exhibitions are presented twice a year with concurrent music presentations and workshops highlighting renowned international and national musicians as well as local talent. The Museum believes in broad-based educational programming, and providing accessible instructional experience to students of all ages and backgrounds.
