Museu de la Música de Barcelona

MusicOpen until 7pmFrom €6Marina (L1)

El museu de la música de la ciutat de Barcelona ocupa la segona planta de la sala de concerts L'Auditori des del 2007. Al voltant de 500 dels més de 2.200 instruments que conserva s’exposen en un recorregut que va de l’edat mitjana al pop i el rock contemporanis, i que s’estén també a les cultures musicals d’altres continents. Entre les peces destacades hi ha una de les col·leccions de guitarra clàssica més importants del món, amb guitarres d’Antonio de Torres, així com el clavicèmbal Zell (1736) i un gamelan balinès. Estacions audiovisuals i interactives acompanyen el recorregut, i una sala final permet als visitants tocar els instruments.
