The National Music Museum  =  Sounds Like Tacoma

Uncommon Worth for South Sound Communities

With a preeminent collection of historically relevant instruments of invaluable cultural worth, the National Music Museum brings a great opportunity for our city to continue to establish itself as a center of Northwest culture worthy of the world stage.  With an array of one-of-a-kind pieces, they desire a satellite museum right here in Tacoma.

Known the country and world over for its collection, their list of needs is modest, and the enduring cultural impact to our city and living environs would be an immeasurable boon to the quality of our lives, with major economic, institutional and humanitarian reverberations in our city.  

Learn about the significance such music and history stands to bring to  our city on Sunday, December 7th at 7p when John Doan, noted musical profession and practicing historian, brings about 20 historically-relevant, Victorian era instruments on stage for an Old World holiday experience unlike any you have known.  Tickets are on sale here.  Learn more about his involvement with this year's Dickens Festival at Stadium here.

A musical institution of such a caliber as the National Music Museum would resonate the world over - Tacoma would be known as the cultural center for music in the South Sound.

This is a  small sample of the hundreds of musical instruments at the NMM, and the possibilities of rotating and permanent collections is limitless.

No museum of comparable inventory exists anywhere in the Northwest.

Involvement in musical history would be a cultural heritage for our children and people for generations to come.
