A MUSEUM WITH 60.000 INSTRUMENTS! AND IT'S ONLINE!

Hint: Synth Section has a possibility to make you feel dizzy!

Throughout the history humankind always used music as an element of relaxation. A journey to find our real self. A meditation tool to enjoy or just a vibration to makes us feel good.

Obviously, we came up with numerous tools that make different sounds and then developed the keys on them to make variations. Since the primitive era music has always been a way of expression and this online museum shows us the tools of this beauty.

Musical Instrument Museums Online (or MIMO for short) that compiles the collections of a number of European and African musical instrument museums into one easy-to-browse database.

MIMO features a database of over 60,000 instruments that are digitally represented with photos and interesting trivia. Now you can finally explore the fascinating diversity of stringed instruments with faces, like this creepy thing. The MIMO also includes a whole load of notable synthesizers and drum machines, which ought to appeal to historians and collectors alike. Who knows, you might just find a few new boxes to lust over, like this pristine early ’70s Moog drum machine prototype.

Considering how large the library is, we feel completely safe in saying that it feels practically endless. We could spend entire days browsing the archives picking out photos of obscure gear we could previously hardly imagine, like this late ’60s research synth console. Special thanks to the folks at Open Culture for tipping us to this resource via their in-depth article, which you can read here.
