National museum with a collection of nearly 9,000 instruments and works of art, the Music Museum is fully in line with the daily life of the Philharmonie de Paris. It preserves one of the most important sets of instruments in the world, both in terms of rarity and diversity of objects.
The new course of the Museum, inaugurated in 2025, displays a vast history of music in the world, from the end of the 16th century to the present day. The collection illustrates the musical "modernity" explored in Europe, from the Renaissance to contemporary and electronic experiences. It highlights the richness and vitality of musical cultures from Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas.
