ACCORDION MUSEUM IN THE NETHERLANDS
Contributed by Henk Kuik

The first Dutch Accordion and Harmonica Museum "De Muse" opened last month with a collection of over 100 bellows instruments. The museum shows the development of these instruments from the Chinese Sheng to modern day instruments including bandoneons, concertinas, melodeons, accordions and some automatic instruments such as the Tanzbar and Hohner Organa.

The 19th Century building is situated in Kerkplein 12, 6581 AC Malden, (near Nijmegen) in the southeast of Holland and also includes an accordion shop and a Music-café where musicians can meet and play.
