Hamamatsu City Museum of Musical Instruments, Musical instruments museum in Hamamatsu, Japan.

The museum displays 1500 musical instruments from across the globe, arranged by region, type, and historical period in dedicated exhibition spaces.

Established in 1995 as Japan's first municipal musical instrument museum, the institution emerged from Hamamatsu's 1981 initiative to establish itself as a music city.

The collection spans instruments from Asia, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, representing diverse musical traditions through exhibits, performances, and educational programs.

Visitors can experience instrument sounds through headphone stations and directional speakers, while daily demonstrations showcase live performances of various instruments.

The museum houses rare pieces including a Blanchet cembalo and the Nigerian Dimkedim, alongside an extensive collection of electronic instruments and synthesizers.
