| Description | Musical Gems: Historical Musical Instruments In an adjoining modern building accessible directly from the historic Handel House (including disabled access), the majority of the 750 historical musical instruments making up the collection are on display. Today, it represents one of the most important collections in Central Germany. Here you can view valuable exhibits of all types of musical instrument – and even hear some of them. The gems of the collection include a Flemish harpsichord from 1599, a fortepiano from the time of Mozart and a late Baroque church organ, as well as rare objects and curiosities ranging from a glass harmonica to an olifant and a cane violin and also including mechanical musical instruments. The development of the keyboard instrument can be traced through exhibits such as the clavichord, the harpsichord and the fortepiano, right up to the modern grand piano. You can try playing a number of replicas yourself. Moreover, the Sound Studio invites you to take an active part. In a number of simple experiments, it shows how musical instruments and the human voice produce sound, explaining acoustic phe-nomena in a fun way. Handel – The European Exciting and Rewarded Until his eighteenth year, George Frideric Handel lived in the house called Zum Gelben Hirschen – „The Yellow Hart“. The house of his birth, a listed historical monument, has been a museum since 1948 and today it welcomes visitors from all over the world. They come to visit the award-winning exhibition „Handel – The European“ which covers more than 600m² of floor space over two storeys and depicts the life and work of the composer with the aid of historical exhibits. The bright, cheerful rooms present historical musical instruments, paintings, drawings, prints and first editions, but also offer modern media stations and a small projection theatre where five to ten-minute-long excerpts from Handel’s operas can be viewed in a fun way. |
