We were invited to visit the place and we had one of the most beautiful experiences from our life. It was a great feeling to see all those violins, carring hundreds of years of history in their music:) I am happy we got the chance to see them.
La collezione è stata trasferita al Museo del Violino in Piazza Marconi.Museo che consiglio di vedere sia agli addetti ai lavori, Musicisti e non o solo turisti amanti dell'arte, perchè di arte si tratta, la Liuteria Cremonese è Patrimonio dell'Unescu (dell'Umanità) quindi con questo ho detto tutto.
I like the idea of visiting the Violins Museum and to have someone to play the violins. The violins were from Stradivari, Amati and Guarnieri. All the very best
amazing collection - small but oh boy SPECIAL! Stradivarius, Amati, and more.... if you stroll in the Duomo square during spring and summer, you might get lucky and listen to the sound of these gems... live!! why? because they have a person in charge of playing them each day, to keep them "alive". so special. took my mum in law there as she loves violins and she cried of joy for the entire time!
At the start you have an interactive guide which comes on automatically as you walk around the collection -starting with the history of the violin and how they are made, followed by a beautiful collection of instruments. An exciting feature is the posibility to listen to music played on each instrument simply by dialing in the number of the exhibit, you could spend hours in there ! The museum has a good restaurant and the staff were very helpful and spoke several languages, one of the most beautiful museums I ever visited.
What a wonderful, modern, tribute to the violin. We had explanations of how some of the famous violin makers got started and what their techniques were, although no one knows all their secrets. Beautiful instruments to view. We had a performance where an expert violinist played several pieces first on one fabulous violin and then on another. I was amazed--I amnot a musician but i really could discern differences. My only regret is i was with a tour group and we simply did not have enough time to spend here. Fabulous!
Mooi museum, maar maar voor wie niet in het bijzonder geïnteresseerd is in violen is een bezoek niet echt waardevol....
This museum actually already changed place from near the Duomo to couple of meters further from the center. Extraordibary collection of violins not only by Stradivari but (looking nicer) violins manufactured by Amati family. Perfect to see violin manufacturers tools but also listen to commentaries as the violins appear. Nice interactive displays!
Muy instructiva esta visita guiada, sobre las principales técnicas empleadas en su fabricación aunque muchos de los secretos que se utilizaban aún no se conocen plenamente. Lo que si queda claro es que con una visita a Cremona, ciudad que se encuentra a orillas del Po, entre la Lombardía y la Emilia Romagna, nos ponemos al día sobre la historia del violín y quienes fueron sus principales artífices del éxito de este instrumento musical. Hermosa ciudad.
La bellissima collezione dei violini che per tanti anni era situata all'interno del palazzo comunale proprio di fronte al Duomo, ora la trovate al Museo del Violino a circa trecento metri di distanza. Il Museo si trova nella nuovissima Piazza Marconi dove è stato realizzato un parcheggio sotterraneo con annessi scavi dell'epoca romana. All'interno del palazzo si trova anche l'Auditorium, anch'esso di recente costruzione e diventato molto famoso per la sua incredibile acustica e per la curiosa forma architettonica. Pensare che sino a dieci anni fa, Piazza Marconi era un luogo dimenticato dal turismo e dai cremonesi a causa degli scavi che per molto tempo hanno devastato l'intera area. Ora è uno degli angoli più belli di Cremona
