Choose between an interactive guided tour of the exhibition rooms or a Guided Tour +, which combines a general exploration of the collections with a hands-on session in the Atelier, a space dedicated to musical practice.
Guided tour
1st-6th secondary
More than a simple collection of objects, the Musical Instruments Museum is a universe where each piece bears witness to a history, a cultural context, or particular beliefs. By listening to music, observing, and playing certain instruments, the guide and the young visitors will explore the role of music in their lives. Designed as a comprehensive introduction to the museum, the visit will also offer insights into the history of the collections, how a museum is created and managed, and the beautiful Old England building, a jewel of Brussels’ Art Nouveau.
Guided tour +
1st-6th secondary
A first encounter with the MIM's collection, unique in its diversity. Students will travel around the world—from Europe to Oceania, via Senegal and Indonesia—and explore musical practices from different eras, from the Egyptian harp to the earliest electric instruments. The guide will encourage them to reflect on their own relationship with music. A session of collective practice in the Atelier will allow them to experience firsthand some of the musical processes introduced in the museum’s galleries.
