This museum is another kind of experience that uses physical interactive spaces. It doesn't use the latest technology, but it does use things that can be fun and Interesting for kids. It also is very informative.
The first part teaches kids about music and makes them want to make music , listen to it and piques their curiosity in it too. I always wanted to learn about music as a kid and still do.
Another part of the museum history of how kids played in the past which teaches kids about history in a way that makes them related to kids of the past(including their parents and grandparents.). It also makes kids discover new ways to play when kids were more active. Play is important for kids not just for having fun, but kids also learn best when they play.
There is another part of the museum that shows how films are made and tells kids what that there is a lot that goes on to make a movie. It also might help kids decide whether they want to be a part of making films themselves or not.

The How To Web Site 5Min.com
I looked at some really cool websites it was very exciting. There was a how to web site called 5Min.com that had how to on any subject, you name it. I went to the food part because I was interested in culinary matters. I was interested especially in Italian food. I saw a how to make duck meatballs in the restaurant this was their trademark. There was also a How to Make Garlic Knots which I really love to get it with my pizza whenever I get the chance. In the music section there was something on how to play the flute, which I could never get the hang of. I always had trouble with the embouchure ;they said to form the letter M with the lips. I remember a You Tube with James Gallway ,a famous flautist, where he said you should frown while playing the flute. There were other instruments too. There was a section on how to play Rhythm and blues guitar; I had forgotten how much I liked the blues till I saw this video. There was also a section about the drums the one I chose to watch showed me how to play the hi hat cymbal and the cowbell pedal at the same time.
