4. August Music Museum (Ringve)

So, I finally visited the Music Museum today. It is Norway's national museum for music and musical instruments with a collection from all over the world. The exhibition consists of two parts:

1. Manorial House:

The manorial house displays functioning instruments from the 18th and 19th centuries in rooms that were once inhabited. I joined a guided tour, and it was a very nice young woman who played something on the piano in each room. She played really well. I was lucky: we were only a couple with three girls (Norwegian) and another couple from Bochum. The guide spoke German very well and conducted the tour in both German and Norwegian. I have rarely experienced such an interesting tour, which lasted for about one and a half hours. The children were also very excited. She played the piano, the house organ, and many other instruments in each room... simply amazing!

2. Barn:

Many instruments from all over the world are exhibited here. I received an audio guide in German, which allowed me to listen to the instruments and learn about them. I must say that the visit was worthwhile. I learned a lot about the history of music.

In the evening, I had my nightcap at the yacht harbor.
