Do you know a thumb piano, a nose flute or a funnel violin? In the Musikinstrumentenmuseum there is much to see, to hear and to try out yourself, with more than 1000 musical instruments from all over the world. With the family you make a musical journey around the world. Guided tours for children are also available on request.
What visitors say
The museum revolves around the guided tour: the collector plays instruments from the collection in person, and according to visitors that is what gives the collection meaning. It involves thousands of instruments from all over the world, from violins and zithers to jaw harps, which differ widely from one another in shape and sound. Anyone who only wants to walk past display cases gets little out of it; it is something for those who take the time and listen.
- · Come for a guided tour, not for a quick walk round.
- · Ask in advance about a theme or a country when coming with children.
