Studio Bell, home of the National Music Centre (couple trip)

Full of Canadian and American music, musician information, history, clothing, instrumental artifacts, interactive exhibits, and visuals, all set in an incredibly cleverly designed architectural experience. Check out senior prices on Wednesdays. Parking is nearby in a parkade. You can quickly purchase tickets at the front desk and move through the exhibit at your pace. We found two hours was plenty...

was blown away by the architecture, especially the fifth-floor view and 300-seat Performance Hall. It was one of the most amazing architectural experiences of my life! I was lucky to capture this beautiful artwork with my humble iPhone.

What an amazing place. Not only the building but the collection of music artifacts. 5 floors of amazing music items to look at read and watch. Try your hand at our of the many instruments. Guitar, drums, piano. Lots to read and enjoy. Easy parking right beside the studio. We spent clse to 3 hours because we took our time reading doing lots. Washrooms on every floor.

Glad to have tried this place on free admission day with toddlers. Cool space with multiple floors. You can try out various instruments. I would say if you’ve got toddlers you might as well just go to Long & McQuade until they are older as there isn’t much else for them here so you could save the entrance fee. Cool designs, general space, art, etc.

Beautiful building. Interesting exhibits. But marred by many interactive exhibits not working and a definite lack of enthusiasm among the staff. Missing a number of regions such as Newfoundland.
