Reviewers frequently highlight the interactive elements, such as the orchestra room and the station where visitors can compose their own music, as standout features. The museum is described as being a perfect size—not too large, allowing for a focused and personal experience without feeling overwhelming. Many guests were particularly impressed by the creative acoustic design and high-quality graphic visualizations used throughout the exhibits. While the entrance fee is noted as being slightly expensive, most visitors agree that the historical depth and the beautiful building, including its quiet garden, justify the cost. Overall, it is considered a must-visit for music lovers, though some noted that service at the ticket desk can be less welcoming than the staff inside.
