The above picture is a computer rendering of the proposed Museum of Musical Instruments, scheduled to open in 2010. The museum will be the only one in the country that is devoted solely to instruments of world culture. Robert J. Ulrich, the CEO of the Target Corporation, is giving millions of dollars to the project, which is estimated to cost about $125 million, according to the NY Times. There will be about 5,000 instruments, occasional musical performances, and the opportunity to play some of the rare instruments. Sounds pretty great - too bad it’s going to be in the outskirts of Phoenix.
