A museum mapped out in a musical route
With headphones on, the visitor is transported into different musical universes: from jazz, to rock, going through music ball, pop music, electronica…
It invites for total immersion in unique sound experiences to share among family or friends. The route is organized according to 6 spaces of eclectic atmospheres from the late 18th century to the 1990s, animated with visual and musical shows.
The room of the machines
In this space, the visitor can explore the fabrication techniques of music: digital music, lights, images, sounds, vibrations… All of the latest technologies are exhibited to awake the senses and create a unique universe.
Instrumental path
The museum is rich with 3,500 instruments and collectable items: medieval fiddle, bagpipes, accordions, percussions, acoustic guitars, electric guitars…

“The Individual Listening Mobile System SEM was specifically created for the museum. It is composed of an open headset and fine pointer linked to 150 independent listening points. Throughout this route, you can choose whichever music you want to listen to based on your tastes. In total, more than 8 hours of music are available for listening. Many visitors get caught up and don’t see time pass. Some even stayed in the museum until closing hours without even realizing it” explains Eric Bourgougnon, curator of the MuPOP.
