Shamonic Drum from Northern ScandinaviaThe MusikWelten exhibition at the Bassermannhaus Museum of Music and Art is intended to be a moving musical experience, reports the Goethe-Institut in its January newsletter. With over 200 exhibits – from Aztec whistles to court orchestral instruments from Europe, India, Africa and Japan – it documents the important role played by music in human cultures around the world.

The exhibition presents rare shaman drums from Scandinavia, wonderfully colorful fire dance masks from New Guinea and precious concert instruments from the Mannheim Elector’s Court: they all illustrate clearly that music can not only be found in all cultures but continues to move people right up to the present day. Visitors learn how music is used as a means of communication, which ritual and symbolic significance it can have and which role it continues to play today.

These sound experiences are complemented by light installations and photographs. Visitors can also listen to the sound of specific individual instruments.
This seems like a cool place. It would be interesting to go there.
