MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS

The basis for the present exhibition was formed in the late 1930s when the valuable Rück and Neupert collections were partly acquired from Nuremberg and Bamberg respectively.

The exhibition is built around a chronological series of strung keyboard instruments. Many of the exhibits are now on show in a new building and enable the visitor among other things to follow the development of the piano from ist origins to modern times, while interesting and valuable specimens of other types of instrument may also be admired. Printed Accompanying Brochures and Exhibition Lists in English  and German are available.
