THE INSTRUMENT COLLECTION

The Stockholm Music Museum has been in existence for more than 100 years. During this time over 11,500 objects have been acquired. The musical instrument collection makes up the larger part of the collection, but there are also many works of art.

Please note that only a small fraction of the collections are on view at the museum. Persons with a special interest in particular instruments, experts and researchers are welcome to visit the museum's storage, by special appointment, where the entire collection can be viewed.
We are planning a new instrument exhibition in which a much larger number of our instruments will appear. We hope it will open in the not too distant future!



Since 2003, the Museum's document and photo archive has been the responsibility of The Music Library of Sweden and The Centre for Swedish Folk Music and Jazz Research.

We and ten other major European instrument collections are working together in a project called MIMO, to create a common website. Here is a link to our facebook page showing a few recent updates. Please follow our progress on facebook as well as looking at the projects own dedicated website. Thanks!
