Choose between an interactive guided tour of the exhibition rooms or a guided tour +, which combines a general discovery of the collections with a session in the Atelier, a space dedicated to musical practice.
Guided tour
1st-6th secondary
On this virtual journey across the five continents, students will not only discover unusual instruments and their unique sounds, but also compare their own perspective on music with that of other societies. In many cultures, music still serves a functional role - something that has largely been forgotten in Europe. When and why is music played? What purpose does it serve? The guide will invite pupils to reflect on these questions while giving them the opportunity to listen to numerous musical examples and try out the instruments themselves.
Guided tour +
1st-6th secondary
On this tour, you will discover instruments from cultures and regions around the world. Hear the talking drums and harps of the Griots from Africa, explore the Javanese gamelan orchestra, and admire the colorful instruments of the Indian court. Experience the mysterious music of Tibetan monks and the lively sounds of Mexico, taking you far from home. In Europe, there is plenty to explore as well: where do bagpipes come from, how do you play a bumblebee, and how do you get sound from an accordion? In the Atelier, you will practice the rhythms of Africa and Asia on djembes, dumdums, tambourines, gongs, and metallophones. Together with your classmates, you will make music from all over the world and experience the joy of playing in a global ensemble.
