Simply Remarkable
Our visit was absolutely worth it! It was so unreal to see the craftmenship and beuty of each and every violin. The staff were very knowledgable and answered any questions we had. We were able to hear a 1668 violin played and the sound was incredible.
You must visit the Museum, you will be amazed.

If you love classical music, this is a museum you have to visit
Cremona is simply a gem. This museum is a treasure. Very easy access for anyone with disabilities. The collection and the displays are absolutely wonderful. If you can time your visit to take advantage of a concert, all the better.
Prices are very reasonable and they have a senior’s discount

Amazing museum dedicated to the Violin and its development in Cremona.
Amazing museum focused on the history of violins and string instruments as developed in Cremona. Obviously Antonio Stradivari is a central character but are others to understand their roles. There are many examples of the best violins in the collection. Entrance is very reasonable.
Note: On Sundays, there are recitals in the Auditorium Giovanni Arvedi within the museum building. On the Sunday I was here, a Giuseppe Guarneri violin Stauffer 1734 was being played by Emma Bertozzi. The performance was stunning and the acoustics are wonderful. This is not to be missed an a great value at 12 euros per person.

Great museum, but the really unique part are the concerts.
The violin museum is obviously a fundamental step of the visit to Cremona. It is very remarkable, exposed in a modern and effective way and very usable. The limit it has, like other uniquely themed museums, is the sheer number of objects that disorients you after a while. But the best part is the Sunday concerts in the auditorium, with original Stradivarius and incredible young artists of enormous talent.

Essential if you visit Cremona
For the second time at the museum, this time in the company of our granddaughter who, like her grandparents, found the multimedia contributions located along the museum route useful. Beautiful and valuable instruments on display that in addition to being admired can also be heard. One cannot fail to emphasize the worldwide importance of Cremona’s violin making and the artisan workshops still present in the city, with students and enthusiasts who come here from all over the world.

Violins in all sauces
We are not passionate about violin, but the museum is still interesting to learn about the instrument and the art of violin making in Cremona.

Scam-ish
I did purchase a ticket through Viator as the Museum Website dates were all unavailable. So by them buy tickets made them unavailable so you are forced to buy it here at a higher price. It is an atlernative if you. "have" to attend. They also dont tell you utill the day before you NEED to print the voucher. Hopeful you get lucky and your hotel can print ot for youm
Fair warned !!!
