Theatrum Instrumentorum: the search for lost sound

exhibition of musical instruments between the XII and XVII centuries

Sunday 15-Saturday 28 March 2015

For the European Day of Early Music, Fondazione Benetton and almamusica433, in cooperation with Dramsam Centro Giuliano di Musica Antica, organise an exhibition dedicated to the music and musical instruments of Europe between the Middle Ages and early Baroque.

The exhibition provides an overview of the world of musical instruments between the XII and XVII century and offers a glimpse at the expertise, spanning from artistic craftsmanship to technology, applied to the invention and production of a rich repertoire of “objects for making music” that represents one of the richest European artistic heritages.
