Isfahan Music Museum
موزه موسیقی اصفهان
A privately founded museum of traditional Iranian instruments with several hundred pieces from across the country; musicians often perform live when the visit ends.
The Isfahan Music Museum was founded by a group of local musicians. It displays traditional string, wind and percussion instruments from various regions of Iran, with explanations of their craftsmanship and regional characteristics. Guides demonstrate instruments as they speak. After the tour, musicians usually perform a short piece of Persian classical music live in a small hall, which foreign visitors especially appreciate. A ticket is required, opening hours vary, and a visit typically takes about an hour.
