ASTOUNDING STORIES ABOUT THEATRE AND MUSIC
Over the course of 100 years, numerous artefacts have been accumulated in the Theatre and Music Museum and they are as special as the stories they tell and the people who owned them. Through these stories, a world opens filled with sadness and joy, new beginnings and final goodbyes, eternal love and little mischiefs, sporting rivalry and the joy of play. We have selected 100 objects from the museum collection for the exhibition and accompanied them with stories and pictures.
For the first time, the entire building of the Theatre and Music Museum has been opened to the public, and at the exhibition, visitors can access rooms where the archives used to be or where historians worked. We are happy to show our treasures to celebrate the museum's birthday with you.
