But we will begin our acquaintance with the musical culture from the museum, it is located on the second floor. You can take pictures in the museum (free of charge), but without a flash.
An audio guide is given at the entrance to the museum. It is very comfortable! Each showcase has sensors, pointing at which with an audio guide you can listen not only to the history of the instrument, but also to its sound.
The exposition "Musical instruments of the peoples of the world" is located in five halls, each of which is made in a special color artistic solution.
Hall No. 1 - Musical instruments of the peoples of the Russian Federation
Hall number 2 - Musical instruments of the peoples of Europe.

The collection of musical instruments of the Glinka All-Russian Museum Association of Musical Culture is one of the largest and most significant in the world in terms of its scientific and historical value. The formation of the collection of musical instruments of the Museum began in the 80s of the 19th century at the Moscow Conservatory, where musical instruments and documents of famous musical figures were gradually collected, and later the Museum was created.

After visiting the museum, we went down to the first floor. There is a "Music Buffet" where we had a bite to eat. I must say that the prices are not too high!
With new forces, we went to the third floor, where the Interactive exhibition "SOUND AND ... Universe, Man, Game ..." is taking place!
What do we know about sound? What properties does it have and how does it affect a person? Nine exhibition halls will introduce you to the fascinating world of sounds, noises and melodies.
The most interesting thing is that you can touch everything and play on everything !!!
You can put on headphones and listen to the sounds that surround us, pleasant and nasty
You can drum on pots, buckets and pans :) :)
At first glance, these are just barrels, but ...
but in each barrel the Music of the Capitals sounds :) Each city has its own unique sound. And having visited it once, it is easy to recognize its "music" even with your eyes closed. Each "barrel" has its own sound of the world capital
You can listen to your neighbors :)) When you come home, it is impossible to remain in silence, because we are surrounded not only by street noise, but also by neighbors. "Child and Violin", "Grandmother and Series", "Man and Drill". You need to put a glass to your ear and find out what is happening on the other side of the wall.
Electromagnetic oscillations are a change in the state of an electromagnetic field that propagates in space
Very cool thing :)) the children liked it
Stereo trans room. Immerse yourself in the tight embrace of the sound, feel it with your skin, see how your body reacts to low frequencies, and don't be alarmed if what seemed clear begins to blur...
It looks like just a room, but as soon as you enter it, a trance starts playing and the longer you stay in the room, the louder the trance will be :)))
Wearing headphones, you can try to guess the emotion
Absolutely everyone can try their hand at playing the violin and the drum set (on the drum set, it’s super, everyone should definitely try it!) :)
Also, children can compose music themselves by rearranging the notes.
And finally, you can control a real orchestra
Maestro Yuri Bashmet himself will give you a personal master class. With a wave of the conductor's baton, you will feel that the music is now in your power!
Music is created by the people, and we, the artists, only arrange it (M.I. Glinka)
There is only one conclusion - Be sure to go and preferably with children. The museum will be more interesting for adults, but the exhibition "SOUND AND ... Universe, Man, Game ..." well, children will really like it!

The museum is a complex of the main building and several branches that serve as a repository of valuable exhibits and a research and educational institution for musical culture.
For a long time, 1938-1984, the director of the museum was the singer and musicologist Ekaterina Nikolaevna Alekseeva.
In early 1995, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Museum was included in the State Code of Especially Valuable Objects of Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of the Russian Federation.
Based on the order of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation No. 921 dated September 9, 2011, the name of the State Central Museum of Musical Culture named after M.I. Glinka was changed to ALL-RUSSIAN MUSEUM ASSOCIATION OF MUSICAL CULTURE named after M.I. Glinka
The history of the creation of the museum
The history of the museum is described on its official website. The foundations of the museum were laid by the Moscow Conservatory, where manuscripts, musical notes, scores, personal belongings of musicians, their musical instruments, photographs from musical performances gradually accumulated over many years. After the death of her husband, the wife of Prince V.F. Odoevsky donated his extensive library, an archive with recordings of folk songs, materials on ancient Russian chants, music theory, a collection of musical instruments, including an untempered piano made by order of the prince. In the late 1880s, musical instruments of the peoples of Central Asia and Kazakhstan were purchased from A.F. Eikhhorn, who served in 1870-1883 as bandmaster of Russian military orchestras in Tashkent. Gradually, a vast fund gathered, growing more and more.
Unique things, documents required special storage. Of these and other exhibits of the conservatory in March 1912, the Museum named after N. G. Rubinstein at the Moscow Conservatory was solemnly opened. The name of Nikolai Grigoryevich Rubinstein was not given to the museum by chance - he was a major Russian musician, founder of the Moscow Conservatory and its first director.
Since the end of the 1930s, so many funds have accumulated that their thorough systematization and classification have already been required.
Even during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945. the Conservatory Museum was not evacuated, continued to work.
The museum was located at the conservatory for many years, gaining independence in 1943 and receiving a new name: the State Central Museum of Musical Culture. A few years later, in 1954, in connection with the 150th anniversary of the birth of M. I. Glinka, the museum was named after him.
In 1964, the Museum of Musical Culture was located in the Troekurov Chambers (Georgievsky lane, 4), where it existed until 1980, when the construction of a new museum building with a concert hall was completed, in which an organ of the German company Schuke (Potsdam) was installed.
Since 1985, the museum began to open permanent exhibitions.

History of the Museum of Musical Art. Glinka
The museum owes its appearance to the Moscow Conservatory, whose employees collected and stored a wide variety of musical materials - documents, manuscripts, autographs, collections of musical instruments. Over time, the idea arose to expose it all for show to the general public. In March 1912, in a small building next to the library of the conservatory, the Museum named after. N.G. Rubinstein. The museum was named after a famous musical figure in Moscow, a favorite of the public, the head of the Russian Musical Society of Moscow. The museum still keeps his personal belongings, books and tools.
At first, the museum performed only the function of an auxiliary department at the Moscow Conservatory and was engaged in the storage and collection of material. Several times his activity fell into complete decline and the museum was on the verge of closing.
At the end of the 1930s, when the anniversary of the conservatory was being prepared, the work of the museum revived - exhibitions were created on the basis of the exhibits, work was carried out to study the funds. Just before the war, in 1941, the institution received the status of the Museum of Musical Culture, and in the winter of 1943 it became state-owned. From that moment on, the museum has a fitting place in the musical and cultural life of the capital.
In the 1940s, the name of Rubinstein disappeared from the name of the museum, and in 1954, in honor of the anniversary of the great Russian composer, the museum was named after M.I. Glinka. Currently, the museum is located in a building specially built for it.
