National Museum of Musical Instruments
National Museum of Musical Instruments, Musical instrument museum near San Giovanni in Laterano, Italy
The National Museum of Musical Instruments displays over three thousand historical instruments in a former military barracks building called Palazzina Samoggia.
The museum originated from tenor Evan Gorga's collection of 150,000 items, which the Italian state acquired in 1949 and established as a museum in 1964.
The collection spans two millennia of musical evolution, featuring instruments from late Hellenistic period through the development of classical and modern music.
Located at Via di Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, the museum welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 to 19:00 with an entrance fee of 5 euros.
The museum exhibits one of three surviving Cristofori pianos from 1722 and the sole remaining German harpsichord from 1537 by Hans Müller.
