Gulangyu Piano Museum is located in Shuzhuang Garden and consists of 2 exhibition halls and a piano gallery.
The museum houses more than 100 world-famous antique pianos and 100 antique piano lamps collected by piano collector Mr. Hu Youyi throughout his life.
These pianos are produced in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the United States, Austria, and Australia.
PS The small balcony on the second floor of the museum is a commanding point, from which you can see the Sunlight Rock in the distance.
The Piano Museum displays more than 40 antique pianos, including the rare and precious gilded piano, the world's earliest square piano and the earliest and largest upright piano.
The Gulangyu Piano Museum is a permanent exhibition of hundreds of pianos collected by an Australian Chinese in his hometown. The museum is designed to look like a piano.
The Piano Museum displays various ancient pianos, which is a great place for piano enthusiasts. (The Piano Museum is located in Shuzhuang Garden)
There are many treasures in the Piano Museum on Gulangyu Island. You can see pianos you have never seen before and increase your knowledge. It will be even more unforgettable if you can hear a live performance.
Very beautiful pianos, all kinds of types, all very exquisite, experience a literary atmosphere. Really beautiful!!!
In Shu Manor, some valuable pianos are on display for free. You can just take a look at them while you are on the way.
The piano is a piece of furniture first, and then a musical instrument. The pianos collected in the museum are all very exquisite.
The Piano Museum on Gulangyu Island is located near Tingtaoxuan in Shuzhuang Garden! There are two museums in total!
Pianos from different periods are on display, along with the story of each piano!
At the end of the visit, the guide played a song for us. Suddenly, I felt like a lady!
The Gulangyu Piano Museum is located in Shuzhuang Garden. It is divided into two exhibition halls, displaying many rare and famous pianos, some of which are unique. There will also be piano performances during the lecture time, which is really a feast for the ears.
The Piano Museum is in Shuzhuang Garden. I saw all kinds of pianos and learned to play them. It fulfilled my childhood dream. There are performers inside. If you have time, you can listen to them.
Before I went to Gulangyu, I knew it was a piano island and thought there were piano sounds everywhere...
The Piano Museum is located in Tingtaoxuan, where more than 70 pianos of various types collected by an overseas Chinese are displayed. For outsiders, it is just to see the excitement, and taking photos is not allowed inside. However, there are piano performances here every day.
The Piano Museum on Gulangyu Island is even more eye-opening. It houses the earliest and largest upright pianos, which can only be accommodated on two floors. There are more than 40 valuable old pianos. Although we cannot empathize with the overseas Chinese Hu Youyi and his wife’s infatuation with piano art, the fact that they transported so many collections back to their motherland shows that they have a deep love for their hometown and art.
Someone said: The most perfect life is: half on the road and half in the study.
I want to say that if you fall in love with books, you will fall in love with traveling, and if you fall in love with traveling, you will understand life better.
The first time I heard the name "Gulangyu" in a book, it evoked many beautiful imaginations in me.
In the author's quiet and beautiful words, one can vaguely feel the island full of sentimentality, sensationalism, and literary style...
It is said that every morning or evening, when you stroll along the paths in every corner, you can not only see charming children holding sketchbooks, drawing under trees and in alleys, but also hear pleasant piano sounds, melodious violin sounds, brisk guitar sounds, etc. The moving singing, beautiful piano sounds, and the sound of the waves will make you intoxicated, and you will have the urge to let go of everything and live in Gulangyu forever...
There is a piano museum in Shuzhuang Garden, which is full of various ancient pianos. Piano enthusiasts will probably be very excited to see it.
There will be impromptu performances on a special piano every half hour in the museum.
I walked around inside. I don't know much about pianos, but after seeing them, I felt that they were very precious.
The 30-yuan ticket only took me 10 minutes to finish the tour. I also read some of the instructions in detail, but I really realized the dignity of the piano. I hope I can stick to it.
It is divided into Hall 1 and Hall 2. There will be scheduled piano lectures in the halls, with a difference of half an hour in the lecture time. You can listen to Hall 1 first and then go to Hall 2. The content of the lectures is very general, but you can still watch the piano performance after the end.
Tips: ① Opening hours of the Piano Museum: 8:15-17:45; ② Tour guide time of the first museum: 9:00, 10:00, 11:00, 13:30, 14:30, 15:30, 16:30; ③ Tour guide time of the second museum: 9:30, 10:30, 11:30, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00; ④ There will be a piano performance after each tour. If you want to watch it, go to the 15:00 show, when there are fewer tourists.
It would be great if the staff of the Piano Museum could introduce it, otherwise laymen would just watch the fun.
I am very interested in the candlesticks of classical pianos. They are exquisitely crafted and vivid, covering many cultural characteristics of that era, such as religion, and the piano legs are decorated with angel patterns.
The candlesticks on the piano are so beautiful and create a great atmosphere. They remind me of the second lady who plays the piano in "Downton Abbey".
There is a very special corner piano. I have never seen this style before. I wonder if it will be inconvenient to use in practice. The overall size is small, like the style for children.
There is a piano decorated with rich oriental colors and patterns of the four seasons. Perhaps this is the oriental aesthetic in the eyes of Europeans, like a meticulous painting.
The Piano Museum is in Shuzhuang Garden. There are piano explanations and piano performances at fixed time periods. If you are interested, you can go and listen at the right time.
The Piano Museum consists of two buildings with different exhibition halls, which display many expensive pianos.
The beautiful staircase inside can lead you to the second floor for a visit, but it is a one-way street and you are not allowed to go downstairs after going up.
There is a piano at the entrance of the second floor, and it started to play by itself. The keys jumped up and down. Although I knew it was an automatic performance, I still felt a little scared.
There are also many pianos in the second exhibition hall, as well as some people learning piano. There is also an antique piano that is said to have been reborn from the ashes like a phoenix: it was remade based on the original piano after it broke down.
There are many tourists in Shuzhuang Garden, and various ancient pianos
It is still worth a visit. There are many piano introductions inside, and I also saw some beautiful pianos and interesting pianos. It was quite educational.
As long as you buy a ticket to Shuzhuang Garden, you can see it. There are two piano museums. After visiting the first one, just walk in the direction after you come out.
When there are a lot of people, you may need to wait outside to ensure that the flow of people in the museum is not too dense.
They are all very unique pianos. Each piano is basically introduced, so you don't have to worry about not knowing the ins and outs of the piano.
There is a piano that can play automatically. It is said that it was made by some nobles who could not play the piano in order to satisfy their vanity! As an island of pianos, Gulangyu Island must visit the Piano Museum. Here you can see hundreds of various pianos, all of which are genuine and authentic! ! The Piano Museum has explanations and piano performances every hour. The specific time can be checked online. It is recommended that friends who visit it should listen carefully to the explanations, and you will have different gains!
I saw the internal structure of the piano. If I didn’t come here to take a look, I would never have the chance to see this thing!
I saw the Rolls-Royce of pianos, the Steinway piano!! It was worth the trip to see it!
The artwork piano is said to be a unique diagonal piano that a pianist collected from two damaged pianos during the war. Of course, this piano cannot be played, but it is a very creative piano artwork. Finally, we listened to the guide playing a song "Waves of Gulangyu" for us on a piano that is over a hundred years old. We felt the crisp sound of the piano up close, and it is worthy of being the king of musical instruments! ! It is really great to visit the piano museum! !
As an art student, the Piano Museum is definitely a place I must visit. There are many valuable pianos, and I really want to go up and play a tune, but since touching is prohibited, I gave up the idea.
You can go to the Piano Museum or not. The various pianos on display are quite unique, but you forget them after you see them. There are also automatic piano performances every day. You can ask the staff for the time.
It was hot outside, but the air conditioner was cool inside. It was so comfortable to listen to a live performance of "The Waves of Gulangyu Island". However, there were piano performances this time, but they were all foreign songs. Although they sounded good, they did not have the artistic conception of "The Waves of Gulangyu Island".
The Piano Museum is next to Shuzhuang Garden, and there are many interesting pianos from ancient times to the present. For example, the piano in the corner cannot be played. It is unexpected, right? In fact, the pianos placed in many rich people's homes in the past were not necessarily used for playing, maybe just a decoration~~~
The Piano Museum makes Gulangyu Island worthy of its name!
Here you can see the beach and Sunlight Rock, and the scenery is also beautiful.
The display is similar to that of the organ museum, except that it is full of pianos. You can see four-legged pianos, miniature pianos, and various antique pianos with reversed black and white keys.
It displays more than 40 antique pianos collected by the patriotic overseas Chinese Hu Youyi, including rare and precious gilded pianos, the world's earliest square piano, the earliest and largest upright piano, and an ancient hand-cranked piano.
There are pedal-operated automatic pianos and eight-pedal harpsichords produced a hundred years ago. Portraits of world-famous piano masters are also hung in the museum, and the whole atmosphere is very artistic.
It's rare to give a place a full 5 star review, but this one is truly amazing!!!
First of all, it is quiet. Everyone knows the rules of the museum. After walking through a hot and humid seaside boardwalk, it feels so cool after entering! There are all kinds of antique pianos in the museum, which can really calm people's hearts at that moment~
The second surprise was that the museum tour guide played the piano for us! It was a huge old-fashioned piano on display in the museum! Although I couldn't tell what the music was, a large group of tourists suddenly quieted down during the piano playing, and their thoughts flowed away with the beautiful music... Through the huge French window not far away, my eyes were cast on the beach outside Shuzhuang Garden. At that moment, I felt so beautiful...
In addition, I also saved a little bit of selfishness for myself. I am a person who likes architecture and design very much, and there are really many places in the museum where you can take photos (unfortunately, my phone ran out of battery... so I didn’t take any photos, and the photos of my companions have not been sent to you yet...)
As the name suggests, it is a piano museum, and there are old pianos inside. I really regretted going in because I don't know how to appreciate them.
There are many piano exhibitions, which are very literary and artistic.
There are many kinds of pianos in the museum. The pianos here have unique styles and shortcomings. There is the world's earliest square piano and the earliest and largest upright piano. Although I don't know much about piano culture, I know that it is the exploration and experimentation over the past 100 years that have created the pianos we see in our daily lives.
While I was still enjoying the piano, the staff opened the string cover of a piano and played a piece of music called "The Waves of Gulangyu Island". The melodious piano sound filled the entire hall.
As a science girl, I don't seem to know much about the pianos in each country. What are the differences? Piano lovers can go and visit
The Piano Museum and the Engraving Museum both have an artistic atmosphere.
There are many styles of pianos, most of which are from Germany, some are more rustic, and some are candlesticks.
I have experienced Yin Chengzong's musical life. Seeing my daughter see this will definitely inspire her to practice the piano well.
The Piano Museum is located halfway up the mountain. Looking down from the platform, you can see the beach and the sea. It is included in the Shuzhuang Garden attraction, so no tickets are required.
I was looking forward to the piano museum. The air-conditioned room was cool and comfortable. It was also a special experience to see all kinds of pianos from different periods.
There are many pianos from different periods on display. If you have children learning piano at home, this is a great opportunity for them to have close contact with the piano.
The antique pianos here are very well preserved, many of them are from the 19th century and are exquisitely crafted.
It was raining heavily when I arrived at Gulangyu Island. I took shelter in the piano hall and listened to the piano performance. The bass was really powerful.
The Piano Museum is on the top of a hill! The most recommended thing is!!! The vending machine at the back door of the museum, hahaha, it's really hot, it feels good to come out and drink an iced drink!!
There is a piano performance at the hour, about two minutes long, playing the song "Waves of Gulangyu". There are small speakers everywhere on Gulangyu Island, and they keep repeating this song. I'm almost brainwashed.
The museum has a collection of many precious pianos.
Piano lovers can go and have a look. Many people take photos inside.
This is my first time to the piano museum. There are very few people here. Maybe people are not very interested in it. Of course, there is not much to see.
The piano museum is in a great location, facing the sea. I saw many beautiful harpsichords and was fascinated by retro things.
The [Piano Museum] is located in [Shuzhuang Garden] and is divided into Hall 1 and Hall 2. Like the [Organ Museum], it is only for viewing but not for touching. Without the explanation, there is actually not much to see.
There will be explanations in the Piano Museum, especially in the second museum. After the explanation, the tour guide will play the Waves of Gulangyu on the spot, which is very nice. You can learn about the history of piano development and various types of pianos, and listen to performances. It is definitely worth seeing.
Gulangyu Piano Museum displays more than 70 harpsichords collected by Mr. Hu Youyi, who brought them back from Australia. The pianos here are not only long-standing, diverse, but also unique. It is very suitable for people who like music or literary and artistic people to visit!
The Piano Museum is in Shuzhuang Garden. There are staff members playing the Gulangyu Waves, which sounds very nice.
What impressed me most was the first time I stood by the floor-to-ceiling window filled with sunlight in the Piano Museum and listened to a live performance of "Waves of Gulangyu". Even now, when I close my eyes, I can still recall the scene of waves rushing towards the beach that day, and this has become one of the most beautiful memories of that day.
The Piano Museum is hidden in the Shuzhuang Garden. There are piano performances at fixed times. Piano, sunshine, and waves make you want to play a song.
The Piano Museum is inside Shuzhuang Garden. There are many famous pianos in the museum, but as an outsider, you can only watch the fun and take pictures.
Many pianos left by celebrities in the Piano Museum
Listen to a piece of piano music and then listen to the sound of waves, and thousands of years of time will be deposited in the bottom of your heart.
Gulangyu Piano Museum is located in the Gulangyu Shuzhuang Garden Scenic Area (scenery within scenery), so you only need to buy the Shuzhuang Garden ticket. It is divided into two floors, with rare and precious gilded pianos, the world's earliest square piano and the earliest and largest upright piano, ancient hand-cranked pianos, pedal-operated automatic pianos produced a hundred years ago, and eight-pedal harpsichords, etc. It is a collection exhibition hall of a patriotic overseas Chinese, allowing tourists to have the opportunity to see rare pianos, which is also very good for cultivating their sentiments. There are also staff members performing, so it is worth going.
All the pianos are over 100 years old and are worth a look.
At the Piano Museum, there are fixed times when people will give lectures and play the "Gulangyu Song".
It's not that I don't like it, but if you don't have a certain understanding of pianos, there's really no point in seeing so many pianos that you can't touch, but you will still be surprised to see pianos from different eras and the evolution of pianos. When you visit Shuzhuang Garden on a hot day, the Piano Museum in the garden is the only place to cool off. There is only air conditioning inside, and it's really hot outside. There is a floor-to-ceiling glass window in the Piano Museum, where you can see most of the panoramic view of Gulangyu Island, including Sunlight Rock, the sea, Shuzhuang Garden and itself. Many young couples and families will take group photos here to show their love~
The Piano Museum is located inside the Shuzhuang Garden. There are many exquisite pianos. Every 30 minutes or so, there will be a performer playing the piano. It is really enjoyable to listen to the beautiful music and look at the sea view outside the window.
The people of Gulangyu Island were influenced by Western church music at an early age, forming a tradition of loving music. The density of pianos per capita ranks first in the country. This museum is the only world-class piano museum in China. The most special thing about it is the 30 European and American harpsichords. There are two buildings in Shuzhuang Garden, that is, two pavilions. There are more than 100 pianos in the two pavilions, covering a wide range of styles and manufacturers.
The most famous attraction on Gulangyu Island. The various types of precious pianos on display here are eye-opening, many of which are hard to find in other places. All the pianos were donated by Mr. Hu Youyi. However, taking photos is not allowed here, but considering that these pianos have actually become cultural relics, it is understandable to do so for the sake of protection.
Gulangyu Piano Museum is located on the top of Shuzhuang Garden.
A collection of pianos of great value
It was donated by Hu Youyi, a Chinese living in Australia.
This is a must-see museum for piano lovers.
The museum is divided into two floors and the area is not large
It takes about 20 minutes to see the whole thing.
If you appreciate it carefully, you can spend a few hours
The most worthwhile place to visit in Gulangyu is Shuzhuang Garden, and the most worthwhile place to visit in Shuzhuang Garden is the Piano Museum.
The highest point of Shuzhuang Garden is the Piano Museum, which displays more than 40 harpsichords collected by the patriotic overseas Chinese Hu Youyi, including rare and precious gilded pianos, the world's earliest square piano and the earliest and largest upright piano, ancient hand-cranked pianos, pedal-operated automatic pianos produced a hundred years ago, and harpsichords with eight pedals, etc. Xiamen has a high level of music education, especially Gulangyu, which is known as the island of music, and the popularity of piano is also very high.
No photos are allowed inside the museum, so take some outside. There are still many pianos inside, and the explanations are very detailed.
The Piano Museum is located in Shuzhuang Garden, which houses pianos from all eras from the first piano to the present. There are also piano performances at regular times in the museum, which is very good.
I searched for a long time and it seemed like I was always around the entrance of Shuzhuang Garden but I didn't see the gate of the Piano Museum. After asking, I found out that the Piano Museum is inside Shuzhuang Garden. Alas, another bundled consumption.
Gulangyu is known as the Gulangyu of Piano Sound. The proportion of pianos here is the highest in the country, so the various pianos in Gulangyu almost tell the history of piano development. Of course, this attraction is also one of the Gulangyu package tickets. Although people who don't know musical instruments may feel a little bored, in the spirit of visiting a city to experience the charm of this city, this is still a must-visit attraction on Gulangyu. PS. Don't open the curtains in the museum without permission, direct sunlight will affect the preservation of the harpsichord.
Climbed many stairs to reach this piano museum
Experts look at the doorway, laymen look at the excitement, I belong to the kind of people who watch the excitement. The main attractions in Shuzhuang Garden cost 20 yuan, whether it is worth it depends on personal preference.
Located in Shuzhuang Garden, no tickets are required, but you need to climb to the highest point in Shuzhuang Garden. The view from the top is quite good, and the highest point is the "Piano Museum". No tickets are required here, there are two floors, and there are piano exhibits inside. There are also staff introducing, and there are tourists answering, and then a conversation started that everyone is watching, and I believe no one can understand.
Inside Shuzhuang Garden, there is a collection of various pianos.
There are ordinary
Double row
There is also a very small
There are even curved ones. I feel that this kind of piano is particularly suitable for being placed in the corner of a room with narrow space.
The Piano Museum has two floors. We entered from the first floor and came out from the second floor, which is exactly the commanding height of Shuzhuang Garden. From here we can see the panoramic view of the garden and even the Sunlight Rock in the distance.
