"A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?"
~ Albert Einstein
A dizzying array of over 10,000 musical instruments from every nook and cranny of planet Earth. It's a time machine of everything with a beat, a chord or a note. Entering the year-old museum you equip yourself with a set of headphones and a device that matches the video which plays most of the displays throughout the building without ever having to touch a button.
After the four hours we'd allotted to tour the museum, I felt reluctant to leave having seen only two thirds of the vast displays arranged by country, musical genre, instrument class or specific artist. A stop at the end of the day was far too short in the area where you can try your hand at playing any of the dozens of instruments in the room from giant gongs to instruments you've never seen before. A particular highlight for me was a large display on the step-by-step creation of a Steinway and Sons grand piano.
Highly (highly!) recommended.
