MFA Boston: Musical Instruments

Boston's Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) is home to many fine collections, including over 1,100 instruments. Items range from shell trumpets to panpipes to grand pianos. On this page, visitors will find an overview of the MFA's extensive musical instrument collection, as well as nearly 25 options for virtual Collection Tours. For instance, selecting the Southeast Asian Instruments tour reveals many fascinating items from ancient times up through the twenty-first century. Each item in the collection features a high resolution image, a detailed description, and provenance information. Other Collection Tours include Percussion Instruments, Bowed String Instruments, and Zothers, Psalteries, and Dulcimers among others. For the traditionally trained musician or the novice music enthusiast, this collection has much to engage readers.
