Like every room looks like a standard "here's a picture of a guy or band and some commentary on a nice looking display". Is there more to it than that? Is it worth the trip?

They have a pretty impressive collection of keyed instruments going back, I think, maybe 4-500ish years, including clavichords and then onward through the ages including a pretty cool pneumatic Kimball theatre organ that basically takes up a whole room, and the player can play the pipe organ, drums, glockenspiel etc. Some synthesizers including the TONTO. Also they have the Rolling Stones mobile recording unit.
Yeah, it’s pretty cool.
