#ShanghaiAttractions 📍Location: No. 1189, Huaihai Middle Road, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Xuhui District, Shanghai. 🎶This museum can be called a grand garden of national musical instruments. It changes its style every three months, giving you an unexpected new exhibition experience. This special exhibition "Silk Road Sounds" will definitely take you through time and space in an instant, and let you listen to the breathtaking and beautiful melodies on the Silk Road with your own ears. This exhibition is divided into three major sections: "Drum Music World", "Wind Music Gallery" and "String Music World", allowing you to fully appreciate the unique charm of various musical instruments at one time. 🌍From the passionate drum ensemble of ancient times, to the various wind instruments, to the dazzling array of string instruments, it is simply a music carnival party spanning many countries and regions along the Silk Road! 🥁In the "Drums Vibrate the Silk Road" section, you will witness one of the earliest musical instruments of mankind - the drum. Whether it is Japan in the east or Egypt in the west, drums play an important role in the exchange of music and culture along the Silk Road. When you come to the "Guantongdongxi" section, you can see all kinds of strange-shaped wind instruments. You know, the history of wind instruments can be traced back to the Stone Age! The earliest wind instruments may have originated from the flute, and then gradually evolved into various types with reeds, and finally formed the various wind instruments and horn instruments we see today. 🎻Finally, in the "String Sound Resonance" section, you will see a replica of the Shosoin four-stringed pipa. This kind of pipa needs to be held in the arms to play, and its history can even be traced back to more than two thousand years BC. In addition, the distribution map of pipa relics along the Silk Road in the Tang Dynasty is also displayed here, which clearly marks the unearthed locations of various pipa instruments on the Silk Road, making people feel as vivid as looking at a historical scroll. 🏛️The Oriental Musical Instruments Museum is not only a music palace, but also a treasure house with profound cultural heritage. There are nearly a thousand musical instruments in the collection, and only a small part of them is on display this time. Every three months, new special exhibitions will be added here to ensure that you will have new discoveries every time you come.
