After hosting 350+ musical instrument petting zoo events at schools, libraries and community festivals over the past 4 years, Keep Music Alive has embarked on a campaign to open the nation's first Musical Instrument Petting Zoo MUSEUM in the Fall of 2028. Located in the Greater Philadelphia region, the museum will feature 150-200 musical instruments for children of all ages to touch, play and interact with 6 days/week through school field trips and family outings.

"Our Musical Instrument Petting Zoo events have introduced tens of thousands of children and adults to the joy of making music," said Vincent James, Founder of Keep Music Alive. "This museum will provide a permanent home where families, schools, and community groups can experience music in an engaging and interactive way while helping inspire the next generation of music makers."

THANK YOU for considering supporting making a financial gift that will help inspire hundreds of thousands of new music makers for generations to come!
