The Royal Academy of Music Museum

The Academy Museum’s collections of instruments, art, photography, manuscripts and scores offer valuable insights into the creative processes of great musicians.

Items on display include stringed instruments by Stradivari and the Amati family, historic keyboards by Broadwood, Pleyel and Erard, as well as scores and memorabilia that belonged to significant figures from the world of music.

The Museum is an integral part of Academy life. Engaging stories are told through its permanent galleries and programme of changing temporary displays. The Museum regularly holds lecture-recitals, seminars, workshops, special events and family activities, all open to the public for free.

The Museum is open to members of the public on Fridays, 11am to 6pm. Admission is free and booking is not required.
