MIMO - Musical Instruments Museums Online

MIMO - Musical Instruments Museums Online is an European project.
Eleven partner museums have photographed their musical instruments (including a large number of those never shown publicly), edited audio and video material and prepared their databases so to make their content available to the public.
It constitutes an impressive database of some 45 000 musical instruments.

They also propose a virtual exhibition called 'Explore the World of Musical Instruments' which shows a selection of instruments from all around the world and illustrates various styles and cultural uses.
