Tacheng Accordion Museum
塔城手风琴博物馆
A themed hall in the “City of Accordions,” with more than 900 accordions from about 10 countries and live performances.
The accordion was brought to Tacheng in the late Qing period by Russian merchants and migrants. It later became an essential instrument at weddings and gatherings of the local ethnic groups, earning Tacheng the nickname “City of Accordions.” The hall covers about 1,200 square metres and houses more than 900 accordions of various eras and brands from China, Russia, Germany, Italy, Ukraine and other countries. Exhibits trace the instrument’s evolution and Tacheng’s accordion culture, and performances and interactive events are frequent. It is on the first floor of the New Era Civilization Practice Centre in the west of the city. Check opening hours and booking methods on site.
