Just had the most inspiring, heart felt, educational cultural experience, graciously hosted by Herr Askold, who also performed on more than a dozen instruments live before us. Please please please visit this amazing museum if you are here! I have met very few people with Herr Askold's dedication and knowledge of his instruments and the music. Amazing.

Great and inspirative visit. Owner of the museum is humble and talented man who is collecting and even playing instruments from all over the world. He can make live show of not very typical instruments from different countries and continents. He loves instruments and he is able to share this passion during the visit. It was very strong experience for me and my family. Thank you!

Would give six stars if possible. Just spent over two hours there on a sunny day in August and couldn't be happier with that choice. Proprietor is very friendly, incredibly talented, and clearly loves what he does. He plays many of his ~5000 instruments from all over the world, and I promise it will blow your mind. If you are in St Gilgen you must not miss this experience.

We had a wonderful visit to the Musical Instruments Museum, the instruments brought us there but the welcoming, teaching and live music made it the highlight of the day. A must for almost everyone.

This is one of the best things you can do in Salzkammergut. An amazing journey into a person's lifetime worth of passion for music. Be prepared to be enchanted :)

The manager and the only employee in the museum is a wonderful person which the music and the stories from his adventures make the day and the visit in the museum a "must" attraction.

A very interesting collection with a real enthusiastic and talented guide! A real surprise and wonder! Don't miss it! ;-)

Epic collection and a super owner! Thanks for the tour!

Amazing place!!

If you're in the area you CANNOT miss this museum. We've been to so many museums in our life, but never has our experience been as deep and engaging as this particular museum. Our host/curator Askold was tremendously knowledgeable about the instruments, and demonstrated so many interesting ones from all over the world. His passion for his work is amazing, and it really shows in the way he pours his heart into presenting the various instruments. We came at a quiet time on a Wednesday afternoon and we're treated to a private "concert" with lots of explanations about the various instruments. Beyond the actual instruments and demonstration that Askold put on, the real takeaway from the museum is the deeply human experience that it was. The sheer joy of pursuing one's passion and sharing it generously with strangers - really an inspiration. Absolutely loved our time here!!
