On the road

24.03.2023 - 07.01.2024

On streets and squares, the tunes from barrel and fairground organs entice passers-by. The special exhibition ‘on the road’ follows their sounds and provides an insight into life and society at fairgrounds and in courtyards.

And it is not only the organ grinders who travel around, but also the instruments themselves as every exhibit has its own unique story to tell.
