Experience MMT
Step inside our one-of-a-kind collection where you’ll encounter some of the rarest and most elusive instruments ever made—vintage synthesizers, tape-based and electromechanical keyboards, prototype gear, and much more.
Explore a vast array of guitar amplifiers—both tube and solid state—alongside effects units, rare guitars and basses, studio-grade recording equipment, drum machines, multi-track recorders, and vintage hi-fi systems.
You’ll come face-to-face with Keith Emerson’s iconic Moog modular synthesizer, hear the sounds of his Hammond organs and discover instruments and gear once owned by music legends like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, The Who, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes, and many more.
This is not your typical museum. We believe instruments are meant to be played and experienced—not sealed behind glass. Many of the pieces in our collection are still in use, and every visitor gets up-close access to the gear that shaped music history.
To preserve this immersive experience, access is available by guided tour only. All tours MUST be booked in advance.
