Deutsches Harmonikamuseum

The Deutsches Harmonikamuseum showcases the world's largest collection of harmonicas with over 25,000 instruments and related objects – an impressive experience for families interested in music history.

The permanent exhibition combines historical depth with clear explanations, using exhibits, texts, and digital media to make the development of the harmonica accessible and exciting for all visitors.

Special exhibitions focus on changing themes such as the history of the harmonica and selected outstanding instruments. This offers you a fresh perspective and an intense musical experience each time.

The diverse program of special exhibitions, concerts, tours, and educational activities invites families to discover the museum again and again. Especially the exhibition Instrument of the Year 2026 presents ten selected accordion exhibits with regularly changing themes and musical highlights.

A highlight is the "Object of the Day" – for example, a Russian button accordion from the late 1970s to the late 1980s, providing fascinating insights into different harmonica designs and histories.
