Review:
The Music Museum, or Musikmuseum, is one of four museums operated under the umbrella of the Basel Historic Museums organization, originally opened to the public in 2000. The museum is located on the former complex of an Augustinian order monastery, which dates back to the year 1206 and also notably served as a prison during the 19th and 20th centuries. More than 3,000 musical instruments and artifacts are displayed throughout the museum, which documents the history of European music from the 15th century through the present day. Exhibits focus on the history of music in the city of Basel, with an emphasis on the region's history of concerts, parades, festivals, choral music, and dance performances.
