Review:

The Palais Lascaris is a 17th century aristocratic building which is now being used as a museum. After taking in the marvelous architecture, head inside to see the museum’s stunning interior and the extensive collection of historical musical instruments it houses. Key rooms in the palace which you shouldn’t miss are the ceremonial room, the chapel, and the breathtaking stairway. You’ll see over 500 instruments on display there; some of the more notable pieces in the collection include an 18th century recorder by Johann Christoph Denner, a bass violin by Paolo Antonio Testore, and one of the first prototype harps built by Sebastien Erard, a renowned French instrument maker.
