Ethnographic Museum of Musical Instruments "Gaspare Cannone", Musical instrument museum in Alcamo, Italy.

The Museo degli strumenti musicali multietnici "Fausto Cannone" occupies the former church of San Giacomo de Spada in Alcamo, near the Teatro Comunale Cielo d'Alcamo and the Castello dei conti di Modica. It holds 220 instruments from Thailand, Tibet, New Guinea, South America, Polynesia, China, Australia, Argentina, South Africa and several European countries. Most are simple instruments made from plant or animal parts, alongside finely worked craft pieces; since November 2022 they are displayed in cases with a catalogue describing their origins.

The museum was established in 2014 when teacher and poet Fausto Cannone donated his collection of instruments gathered over decades. This gift led to the creation of the first ethnographic music museum in Sicily.

The collection brings together instruments from Thailand, Tibet, New Guinea, South America, Polynesia, China, and Australia, showing how different cultures around the world create music. Walking through the rooms, you notice how each region developed its own sounds and playing techniques based on local materials and traditions.

The museum occupies the former church of San Giacomo de Spada on Via Commendatore Navarra, near the Teatro Comunale Cielo d'Alcamo and the Castello dei conti di Modica. A 2021 project funded by GAL Golfo di Castellammare (150,000 euros) renewed the church for the collection's conservation. The new display with display cases and a catalogue was inaugurated on 28 November 2022.

The oldest piece in the collection is a three-string crotalok from Mauritius, the first instrument Fausto Cannone acquired. A xylophone played in Buddhist monasteries has its frame carved from a single block of ebony showing three dragons, and the collection also holds an Italian violin dated 1714.
