Connect to music at a fun, interactive museum!

The Museum of Making Music explores the multifaceted history of the American music products industry from its beginnings in the 1890s to today and presents a variety of events, educational programs and special exhibitions. It explores the connections between the people (those who envision, design, make, distribute, sell and play musical instruments), the instruments themselves and the ultimate result of the music we all make.

The Museum of Making Music also hosts a wide variety of public events that entertain, educate and inform audiences of the benefits and heritage of making music. From concerts, performances and films, to workshops, camps and guest speakers, there's always something happening at the museum!
