    Great museum displaying many exceptional musical instruments. You can listen to many of them via the audio guide and also watch some interesting videos. The instruments are arranged by country (China, India, Madagascar, ...). Price and performance fit here. For adults, the entrance fee of 7 euros is fair, you stay in the museum for about 1.5 hours. It would be nice if additional music wasn't also played over loudspeakers in the rooms. This is really annoying, especially for "audiophiles", when listening to one of the instruments in one ear via the audio guide.
