Discover connections between people, instruments and the music we make. The Museum of Making Music is a program division of the NAMM Foundation, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, and receives operational support from NAMM. Revenue to fund exhibitions and programs is raised through donations, grants, museum admissions, program tuition, merchandise sales, membership fees, and fundraising events. Founded in 1998 and opened to the public in March 2000, the Museum explores the unique history of making, providing, and using musical instruments and products from 1900 to today. We do this through interactive exhibitions, unique live performances, and innovative educational programs. Through the exploration of musical tools, the Museum invites people of all ages, cultures and income levels to connect to music and music making in meaningful ways.
