The German Music Information Centre (miz) lists exhibitions and institutions in Baden-Württemberg that deal with the collection, conservation and communication of the posthumous estates of important musical personalities, with the preservation and presentation of products of musical instrument builders or with other aspects of musical life. They are sustained by the federal government, states, cities and municipalities, as well as foundations or associations and private individuals.
The miz lists the institutions that are part of the working group ‘Music Museums in Germany’; Other institutions that host permanent exhibitions on individual musical personalities are also listed. In addition to the music museums, there are musical instrument museums and collections that are either independent or appear as departments of larger institutions, e. g. state, regional or city museums, museums with a cultural-historical focus or universities.
There are other museums that exhibit musical instruments among other objects; They are not considered due to their mostly small collection size.
