The Fiske Museum of Musical Instruments holds one of the nation's largest collections of musical instruments, with over 750 musical instruments representing the last 300 years. School and group tours often include demonstrations. Incredibly, the museum is poorly staffed, under maintained, and rarely open because of a lack of adequate funding, even though it is part of Pomona College, one of the best endowed colleges in the nation. Open by appointment only or during performances at Bridges Auditorium. Address 450 N. College Way, Claremont, California 91711.
Parking is mostly limited to the streets, so read signs carefully to avoid a ticket.
