Royal Music Museum

Най-добро време за посещение

Weekday mornings between 10am and noon are quietest, especially Tuesday through Thursday. After 2pm on weekends the galleries fill up, so arrive early for a more intimate experience with the instruments.

Съвети за бюджет

Entry is free for everyone every day, no booking required. The suggested donation of £5 helps maintain the collection, and the museum's free guided tours run several times daily.

Бързи факти: Over 2,500 musical instruments from five centuries fill the galleries, including a guitar that belonged to Jimi Hendrix and Handel's personal harpsichord. The museum's collection started with a single donation of 470 instruments in the late 19th century and has grown to become one of the most comprehensive musical instrument collections on the planet.

Акценти: Most visitors walk right past the unassuming glass case holding a 1722 Stradivarius cello, one of only 63 surviving cellos made by the master, valued at over $20 million. You can actually hear recordings of many instruments being played through the museum's digital audio guide, transforming silent displays into a living concert hall of centuries-old sounds.
