The Museum was inaugurated in 2000 and is made of four rooms where 54 reconstructions of period instruments ranging from the 8^th to the late 16^th century are exhibited; the mediaeval instruments were reconstructed according to iconographical sources while the Renaissance ones are copies of originals.

The instruments are exposed by category: string instruments (notice the antique monochord which according to the legend was invented by Pythagoras), percussions, wind instruments and reeds. Among the last category the Cornetto and the Ciamarelle, types of popular oboes that traditionally accompany the Zampogna, particularly stand out.

The museum is equipped with multimedia devices allowing to listen to the instruments and to watch videos of their reconstruction.
