The House of Instruments in Lucerne-Kriens was created from the former Willisau Musical Instrument Collection. Two different collections are united here and complement each other perfectly.

The Willisau Musical Instrument Collection is housed in the premises of a former printing works.  Two different collections are united here and complement each other perfectly. The Patt Collection consists mainly of replica instruments from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The Heinrich Schumacher Collection consists of original instruments (16th to 20th century) and was on display at the Richard Wagner Museum in Lucerne until 2009.  The Willisau Musical Instrument Collection provides an overview of European musical instruments with a focus on Switzerland. A large part of the exhibition is presented in guided tours. A special feature of the museum is that over 100 instruments can be played, which is particularly attractive for children. The collection can be explored using headphones and a touchscreen. Concerts, special exhibitions and courses complete the offer.
