    The museum was founded in 1883 as Vogtländisches, later Städtisches Gewerbemuseum, by the teacher and organist Paul Otto Apian-Bennewitz. During this time orchestral instrument making flourished due to the trade in many countries of Europe and especially in the United States of America. The founder of the museum intended to create a training center for the local musical instrument makers, who also recorded musical instruments from all over the world. Over 6,500 instruments from all continents are part of the collection, of which around 1,400 instruments are represented in the permanent exhibition. The native instrument making characterizes the collection, many of the instruments are donations of the local instrument makers or their descendants. Numerous unique pieces and curiosities liven up the collection.

      A lovingly put together collection in a suitable setting. From the production of the instruments in an old factory, also with a video of the production, to the office to the various instruments in a clear structure - a very worth seeing museum.
