So much to explore and try. Would like to go back again soon now that my daughter is a bit older.

This is such a hidden gem. I've pretty much lived in Minnesota my whole life and grew up playing the piano but I did not know about this museum until recently. It's free and the staff are soooo welcoming and friendly. This kind older man showed us how the antique gramophones worked and told us about how they get visitors from all around the world. Mostly it's to check out the awesome piano collection but there are other instruments on display such as wind and percussion. Basically if you love music and want to have the opportunity to see and play some incredible historical pieces or replicas you should visit!

OMG! What an incredible place! If you are looking for something free and interesting to do and your kids are into the arts (...or not...), this is definitely a must-see museum!I have been here a couple of times and learn something new every time. Whether you are looking a the musical instrument art, researching the history of the piano (looking at real pianos), reading old composers' documents, playing Gamelan instruments or creating your own concept instrument, there is at least a couple of hours of fun involved for adults and children! The employees are great and the Landmark Center is beautiful. And, there are a number of great places around to get lunch!. What more can you ask for?Check it out before a show at The Ordway. Take a walk through Rice Park when you are done. No matter how you look at it, just get there!

From October through April, enjoy free noontime concerts at Landmark Center courtesy of The Schubert Club. Bring your lunch and enjoy some great music. Today's performance featured Fantaisie in F minor for Piano Duet by Schubert (surprise!) as well as Schumann's "Dichterliebe," featuring the Minnesota Opera's Michael Nyby. The Club has been around for over 100 years. They have an interesting museum (also free and in Landmark Center) and put on a wide variety of concerts and recitals throughout the Cities. Bravo!

When I was 13-14 years old I actually won an award for playing the piano for judges from the Schubert Club. The piece I played was called 'Variations on a Swiss Theme'. My piano teacher at that time was a wonderful woman named Beatrice Langford. I quit playing a year or 2 later and wis, at this point, that I'd never stopped. Mrs Langford was a lady from the top of her head to the soles on her shoes. My Mother lost the award I won at some point and I wish to this day that I could replace it! I'm nearly 66 now.
