Niche Museums is a website that catalogs unusually specific musems around the world. It directs us to the Vincent and Ethel Simonetti Historic Tuba Collection in Durham, North Carolina. IF you're into tubas, this your pilgrimage site!
Vincent Simonetti, one of the two founders, began building his collection of over three hundred tubas in 1965 when he encountered an unusual specimen. He and his wife, Ethel, operated a tuba business until 2011, when he sold it and offered his personal collection to interested viewers.
Would you like to see it? You can visit by appointment only on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 3 and 6 PM. A tour is free, but Mr. Simonetti does suggest a donation.
