The Barcelona Music Museum invites you to explore the worlds of music, and its history and culture, through observing instruments and listening to and interacting with music. Every instrument in this exceptional collection -500 of the more than 2,200 are on display- still bears the indelible mark made by humans
After an initial introduction on the diversity of musical instruments and types of music, the exhibition takes the visitor on a historical journey through different periods, from the Middle Ages up to the most popular music and modern-day technology, and finishes by taking a look at the cultures of other continents.
The Museum’s collection of classical guitars is considered to be one of the most important in the world. It includes fine examples like the guitars of Antonio de Torres, the greatest guitar maker in history.
At the end of the visit, in a special hall, visitors are given the chance to play various musical instruments; this is a particularly appealing activity for families with kids.
