Editor's Description

Last updated: Feb 23, 2024
A small museum founded by the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, located in a little garden villa off Gao'an Lu. They've collected about 500 instruments and curated them into four exhibition areas; ancient Chinese instruments, Chinese minority folk instruments, modern Chinese instruments, and foreign national instruments. The displays include everything from a Jiahu bone flute to replica Tang Dynasty instruments to an Indonesian gamalan, as well as instruments from South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and India. They sometimes hold Gamelan rehearsals on Tuesday afternoons. It's a bit hard to find; when you arrive at the start of Lane 18 Gao'An Lu, go down until you reach the large black gates of the garden villa on your left. No entrance fee!
