House of Music
About This Museum
Tucked away on a steep, cobbled street in the historic center, the House of Music feels like a secret waiting to be found. It’s a surprisingly intimate space dedicated entirely to the art of sound, where you can trace the evolution of music through some truly remarkable instruments. The air is often filled with soft, recorded melodies from different eras, making it feel less like a static display and more like a living archive. It’s the kind of place that makes you appreciate the craftsmanship and history behind every note.
Collection Highlights
You'll find an exquisite 18th-century harpsichord with intricate floral paintings and a display of early mechanical music boxes that still work. One of the most fascinating exhibits is a collection of rare bagpipes from across Europe, each with its own unique shape and story.
