A Piano Museum!
This is the first time I've visited a museum that houses pianos! The Piano Museum is an attraction located on Gulangyu island. The pianos in the museum all belong to a solo collector,Hu Youyi, who loved pianos so much that he collected them from all over the world. There are two quaint little pianos that were built just for kids under 10 years old! The star piece of the museum is a gorgeous harpsichord that he purchased from Australia. There are about 100 over pianos on display in two buildings. It's worth the visit to see the effort, passion and finances of one man's collection, even though you may not be interested in pianos!

the museum is very interesting for music interested people
The museum is on Gulangyou island so to get there you must take a ferry from main Xiamen island. To the museum is leading a beautiful seawalking promenade built by the owner of the home to remember important date in life of his family. Inside we can see a big collection of pianos from various countries and times. Worth to see both for young and old :)

Pianos of different eras
The piano museum in Xiamen is located in Gulangyu inside shuzhuang garden. The pianos are displayed in 2 different buildings, one floor for each building. It is basically a display of pianos made during different periods of time. Unless you are a piano expert or have a good guide with you, it is very difficult to really understand or appreciate the differences. The explanation in English are few and do not give enough to stimulate interest.
