Maison de Monsieur Sax, Musical instrument museum in Dinant, Belgium.
The Maison de Monsieur Sax features exhibits about the inventor of the saxophone, including original instruments, historical documents, and interactive sound displays.
Born in 1814 at this location, Adolphe Sax learned instrument crafting from his father before developing the saxophone and other musical innovations.
The museum displays declarations from composers like Bizet and Berlioz through a giant book installation that emphasizes the saxophone's influence on music.
Located at 37 Rue Sax in Dinant, the museum offers free admission and remains open daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM with texts in French, Dutch, and English.
Seven sculptural totem poles form an Anamorphoses Trail outside the museum, each representing different members of the saxophone family.
