Museum of Musical Instruments
The Museum of Musical Instruments of Leipzig University is one of the oldest and most significant collections of historical musical instruments. Its predecessor collections, established by Paul de Wit in Leipzig and Wilhelm Heyer in Cologne, played a pivotal role around 1900 in the development of the study of musical instruments as a specialized discipline within musicology. Since then, the museum and its study collection have become an internationally recognized institution and a valued research partner for historical and systematic musicology, along with all its interdisciplinary connections. At the same time, the collection is presented to the public as a museum of Leipzig University, enriching the cultural life of the city through an extensive program of special exhibitions, tours, and concerts.
