Guided tour
This incredible collection holds over 1000 objects of electronic and electromagnetical music instruments from the last fifty years: keyboards, synthesizers, pianos, organs as well as effects and studio equipment.
This one in a kind treasure was just recently moved from Basel to Fribourg and is actually in a construction phase. More than just being a museum for old instruments, the collection is conceived as an interactive platform. SMEM’s objective is therefore the usability of the instruments for onsite recordings, for concerts and festivals, for workshops aimed at musicians including activities for kids and teenagers. Located in the cellars of the former Cardinal beer brewery, this Living Archive will be accessible for the first time for guided tours in small groups.
