The International Music Museum and Library was inaugurated
in 2004 in Palazzo Sanguinetti. The exhibition includes nine
halls, which trace six centuries of European music history, with
numerous paintings, ancient music instruments, and a broad
selection of immensely valuable historical documents.
The museum is not only a repository of classical music heritage,
but also a place to cross-pollinate, research, and promote ideas;
indeed, it is available for off-beat cultural events that
fall outside the traditional museum mould. It is an open,
lively, multi-functional place, visited by scholars and amateurs,
citizens and tourists, adults and children, with a single common
denominator: love for music in all its forms and expressions.
