The Danish Music Museum, Museu em Município de Copenhaga, Dinamarca
The Danish Music Museum is a music museum in Copenhagen that focuses on instruments from Denmark, Europe, and around the world. The collection shows objects from different periods and cultures, ranging from historical instruments to modern devices.
The museum was founded in 1898 and is one of the oldest music museums in the world. It moved to a new building in 2014 in the Radio House, designed by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen, which provided more space for the growing collection.
The museum displays instruments from many world cultures and regions. Visitors can see how African, Asian, and Latin American communities create and use music in their own ways.
The museum is typically open on weekends and located near the Forum metro station. A visit usually takes one to two hours, and visitors can play some modern instruments in a separate soundproof room.
The museum displays unusual and artistic instruments in a room called the Pragtrummet, including pieces disguised as everyday objects. Visitors can also see a tiny heart-shaped charm that belonged to Mozart, made from lava and gold.
