International Museum Day 2025 at the Musical Instrument Museum

Embark on a sound adventure at the Musical Instrument Museum:

On International Museum Day, you can learn how modular synthesizers work, hear and see the Mighty Wurlitzer theater organ first virtually in the Sound & Vision Experience Lab, then live in the museum and finally experience glass harmonica virtuoso Bruno Kliegl on the dangerously beautiful instrument.


How people feel sound and how it affects them is also the subject of a research project at the State Institute for Music Research. Among other things, sense:ability is about the ability of our senses to perceive music. The presentation of the project is at the heart of the program
