Haus der Musik in Stuttgart occupies the historic Fruchtkasten building and forms part of the Landesmuseum Württemberg. Its collection centres on historical musical instruments from many periods. The ground-floor concert hall traces keyboard development through hammer and tangent pianos, a Pleyel double grand piano, and a French harpsichord. The harpsichord dates from Louis XIV’s era. On the first floor, Unerhört! presents unusual instruments and sound bodies beyond the traditional orchestra. The second floor displays Renaissance instruments and self-playing machines. Kurioses Klanglabor gives children and adults hands-on experiments with a singing saw and bottlephone. Zurnas and shawms show non-European influences on European instrument making. Music examples and an audio guide let you hear historical and international sound worlds, including a four-hundred-year-old harpsichord and Turkish zurna. Haus der Musik is recorded as wheelchair accessible for visitors.
