The Instrument Exhibition
The Sibelius Museum, Turku
- 2.2.2023–31.12.2030
A part of Sibelius Museum’s vast instrument collection is displayed in the instrument exhibition.
This exhibition presents the history of the orchestra from a European and, specifically, a Finnish perspective. In the exhibition, visitors will get to know different sorts of orchestras as well as instruments that are used, or have been used e.g. in a symphony orchestra.
Sibelius Museum’s underground exhibition room, called the Organ Hall, exhibits keyboard instruments. The exhibition features – in addition to organs – a rare keyed monochord and a grand piano that once belonged to the 19th century author, poet and historian Zachris Topelius.
