The cultural context and functions are illustrated with the help of various multimedia providing the opportunity to learn about the traditional role of an instrument as well as some more contemporary changes in the sphere of music influenced by the intermingling of different cultures

The visitor has the possibility not only to admire some beautiful objects from this collection but also enjoy the sounds of selected instruments, watch movies presenting techniques of how to play them and learn from the contemporary and historical photo documentation of musical traditions. For people wanting to check their musical skills, it is possible to try out a few traditional instruments.
