International Museum and Library of Music

The International Museum and Library of Music preserves manuscripts, printed compositions, musical instruments, and documents inside an eighteenth-century building with frescoed walls.

The institution officially opened its doors in 2004, building upon a collection of musical artifacts and documents that originated from an earlier archive established in 1959.

The museum displays rare scores, ancient instruments, and educational materials that demonstrate the development of Italian musical traditions through multiple centuries.

The museum maintains full accessibility for visitors with mobility needs and recorded 65,892 visitors during 2019, indicating strong public interest in its collections.

Researchers can access both museum exhibits and library resources in one location, making it a central point for studying Italian musical heritage.
