MusicClosed todayFrom €6Marina (L1)

Barcelona's city music museum has occupied the second floor of L'Auditori concert hall since 2007. Around 500 of its more than 2,200 instruments are on display on a route from the Middle Ages to modern pop and rock and on to musical cultures of other continents. Highlights include one of the world's most important classical guitar collections, with guitars by Antonio de Torres, plus the Zell harpsichord (1736) and a Balinese gamelan. Audiovisual and interactive stations accompany the route, and a final hall lets visitors play instruments themselves.
