Guided tour of the exhibition: "Traditional musical instruments at Universal Exhibitions".

The exhibition focuses on the presence of music of oral tradition at the universal exhibitions in Paris. Pianos and saxophones have often hidden the forest of gypsy violins, Javanese gamelans and old Jenzat. The Breton binious, the bagpipes of the Bourbonnais, the tambourines of Provence surprised the public alongside the Romanian Lautaris and the mandolin orchestras. Featured: the old one exhibited by Jean-Baptiste Pajot at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1855: a true masterpiece of violin making. Movies in the auditorium.
The lasting extensions of the Universal Exhibitions in the musical field. Generosity of the universal project.
