Website | EmailThis fascinating collection charts the history of musical instruments in the evocative Victorian surroundings of the Reid Concert Hall. Their technical evolution is explained and demonstrated—with over a thousand instruments from around the globe to woo visitors. Over four hundred years of craftsmanship is on display, including some intriguingly bizarre-shaped pieces. A new feature is the sound laboratory— an interactive exploration area that allows you to "blow your own trumpet" using artificial lips. Opening times often change, so call to check.
