Museo internazionale e biblioteca della musica — Attraction in Bologna

Small but very nice exhibition, well decorated.

The museum also houses remarkable artifacts like the rare trumpet marine, the first music book printed in Venice in 1501, and a dedicated section honoring the great Gioachino Rossini. A must-visit for music and history...
