Reviews of Bate Collection of Musical Instruments
J. B.Really fascinating museum in downtown Oxford. Was smaller than what I thought it would be but there’s more than enough to keep you interested there for an hour or so. Guy at the front desk was really friendly. We had to leave our bags there but everything was safe enough. Would highly recommend for a great museum trip!
D. A.Great little museum of musical instruments. You get a hand held speaker to listen to a short musical extract of a variety of instruments, so you can hear the difference between different horns or flutes etc. We spent an hour in there. You can play a Clavichord. Free to get in and a right next Christchurch meadow.
J. Z.Excellent collection of musical instruments some of which trace back to a very long time ago.
M. B.The Bate Collection of Musical Instruments is a collection of historic musical instruments, mainly for Western classical music, from the Middle Ages onwards. 🎺 It is housed in Oxford University's Faculty of Music near Christ Church on St. Aldate's. 🎼 It is one of the most magnificent collections of musical instruments in the world. 🎻
There are over 2000 instruments from the Western orchestral music traditions, from the renaissance, through the baroque, classical, romantic and up to modern times. 🎸
More than a thousand instruments are on display, by all the most important makers and from eminent collectors... 📯
A. B.Fascinating collection of musical instruments
It's free, it's fascinating its great you can hear some of instruments via the supplied audio devices...brought it to life.
There are plenty of different instruments to try on the central area, crumhorn, flutes, feramin (no idea if i spelled it correctly.. probably not ..sorry!) And a harpsichord.
Amazing displays of a huge variety of woodwind, brass and harpsichords.
There aren't any 'modern' instruments but plenty older and classical to enjoy.
Very friendly and very helpful mean on the desk.
The directions will get you to the access door but you will need to press the button to request access... No issue but you need to know (there is a sign but it isn't what you might expect)
Toilets available.
K. H.Tucked away and not on the tourist brochures it is a little gem of a place with lots of instruments to look at, some to play and even music students practising on the instruments. Lovely staff who let you in and audio guide given and happy to tell you lots of stories.
P. B.The collection is interesting because you can listen to the collected Instruments On recordings and some instruments you can try out, children should like it, you can see the history of the instruments manufacturing, if you have Chance to go there take it, I like to return
I. K.Very nice museum with several instruments available to try! Recommend to visit this place during your stay in Oxford. It will be equally interesting for kids and for adults.
K. M.Within these rather dingy & hidden away rooms (on St Aldgates & Floyds Row) what a surprise ! A magnficent display of over 2000 period musical instruments - some of these can be heard on a handheld device as you go around - a friendly & knowledgeable keeper of the collection - anyone with an interest in music should go to see it next time they're in Oxford.
S. C.Really an eye opener for music students! Like everything in your music history book comes alive!
A. H.Many beautiful Instruments to see and listen to, some of them you also can play yourself! Like a Theremin for example! Would definitely visit it again!
