The musical instrument collection of the Gemeentemuseum is not accessible, for many years now. There used to be a fair number of instruments on display, even used in concerts (I remember the collascione we played in an opera production some 20+ years ago), but they are kept in storage now. The museum focuses on modern art, paintings mostly, costumes and pictures. A shame, as there is no musical instrument museum in The Netherlands (apart form a private collection you can visit somewhere in the North) and the collection of the Gemeentemuseum is very good.
