Haus der Musik

Haus der Musik is an instrument museum in Stuttgart that displays an important collection of keyboard instruments such as pianos and harpsichords. The exhibits are spread across several floors of the historic Fruchtkasten building and illustrate how these instruments developed over time.

The museum was founded in 1993 as part of the Württemberg State Museum and occupies the Fruchtkasten building, which was once a residence for the dukes of Württemberg. This historical location connects the institution to the region's past.

The collection presents instruments from different cultures and periods that visitors can directly experience. You see how music and craftsmanship evolved over generations and what role these instruments played in various societies.

The museum is located at Schillerplatz in central Stuttgart and is easy to reach. Visitors should note that opening hours are limited and it is helpful to allow enough time to explore all floors.

A special area allows visitors to experiment with different instruments and try out various sounds themselves. This interactive experience sets it apart from traditional museums where you can only observe.
