Tuesday-Sunday 11-16, Wednesdays also 18-20 (Mondays closed).

The Sibelius museum is the only museum totally devoted to music in Finland. A selection taken from the 1400 instruments of traditional and art musics is exhibited. Most instruments are European art or folk music instruments, but the collection also includes specimens from all over the world.
One room is naturally reserved for Sibelius´s life and work. The basis for the Sibelius collection was formed in the early 1930s when the material left to Åbo Akademi University in the will of Sibelius's friend, Baron Axel Carpelan, was incorporated into the museum.
The museum also includes a historic music archive with roots in the collection of the founder Professor Otto Andersson. They include a variety of materials, for example manuscripts, handwritten and printed music, letters, rare prints, newspaper clippings, recorded music etc.
The museum building, designed by Woldemar Baeckman, is one of the most original Finnish creations of the 1960s.
