DESCRIPTION:
Hidden among restaurants, clothing stores and fellow tenants at 401 Richmond Street lies the magical music shop Musideum. Composer/owner Donald Quan describes the store as a "dream," which is in part due to the store housing of some of the most one-of-a-kind, unique instruments that can be found in Toronto. In addition to the vast range of musical instruments stocked in the store (including everything from sitars to ocarinas to dangling house keys), Musideum's aesthetics are more akin to an instrumental museum than a retail store; albeit a museum with exhibits you are encouraged to touch. In the back of the shop also lies a recording and mastering suite, dedicated to recording Musideum's instruments for many projects, including soundtracks for films. Musideum also hosts live music performances of various genres, providing intimate shows in the shop's space.

For the musician, countless hours could be spent inside this charming musical hub exploring Musideum's wide range of offerings. However, non-musicians will find equal satisfaction from Musideum's visually pleasing displays and learning about many rare instruments that typically don't have a home in other Canadian music stores.
