Museum Vosbergen: seeing and hearing instruments

Museum Vosbergen in Eelde presents musical instruments in a country house. The audio tour described lets you explore appearance and sound side by side.

Plan your visit ↗

An unfamiliar name

The collection lists hurdy-gurdies, a tromba marina and ophicleides, among others. Don’t let the unfamiliar names put you off: start with the shape and the way the instrument is played.

More than making music by hand

Automatic instruments are also included. Here the question shifts from what the musician does to the mechanism that produces the music.

Concerts and museum visits

The museum organises concerts. An event like this has its own programme and can affect normal opening. So check the calendar before you plan an independent visit to the museum.

Before you go

Regular opening Friday to Sunday. Groups can make appointments for other days; concerts can lead to different times.
