Join us at the National Music Museum (NMM) on Saturday, August 2, for Discovery Saturday: Your Music, Your Voice. Admission and all activities are free for this special event!

Throughout the galleries, explore instruments and performers who have used music to express identity, share perspectives, and inspire change. Enjoy themed crafts and activities throughout the day. From 1:30 – 3:30 p.m., join us for our Open Mic event hosted by local musician Mike Hilson. Whether you're a seasoned performer or just starting out, we invite you to share your music on stage. Our 1901 Mason & Hamlin piano will be available for use—please bring any additional instruments you may need. Space is limited, so sign up early through our event page to reserve your spot or register the day of the event.

At 10:30 a.m., kick off your visit with Music Storytime! Anna Van Kley will read the NMM’s new children’s book about Arne Larson— the NMM’s founding collector—and how he used his voice and instruments to bring music to others. Kids will get to see and learn about real instruments featured in the story, now on display. This program is free and generously sponsored by the M.A. Everist Foundation.
Discovery Saturdays are held on the first Saturday of each month and feature special programming, hands-on activities, and guided educational tours throughout the museum.

Come celebrate the power of music and make your voice heard!
