Musical Instruments Museum is the largest instrumental museum in the world (in Arizona, USA) whereby instruments are displayed geographically by continents and sub-continents. Its size is as big as Suntec City.
I've recently discovered that we can in fact perform a COMPREHENSIVE virtual tour of its entire museum (try it, can be addictive for several hours) simply via Google Maps!
And it is deadly accurate because we do see the Banjo and Sousaphone in USA, the Musette accordion in France, Highland Bagpipes in Scotland, Mandolins in Italy, Tárogató and Cimbalom in Hungary, and the Shakuhachi and Shamisen in Japan and many more!
Remember to use your desktop PC (so that we can use the scroll button at the centre of our mouse to navigate) instead of your smartphone to best enjoy the tour!

The words on the wall, and those in front of the exhibits to explain them, are too small to see, though.
That's why. How I wished in the near future, the resolutions are higher!
That's interesting, great for an ethnomusicology lesson.
Yes, or a music lesson infusing ICT in commemorating International Friendship Day!
