Ethnomusicology

• The collection of musical recordings (Edison rolls, tapes, audio cassettes, CDs and discs) comprises some 6,000 hours. The oldest collection dates from 1910 (rolls - Hutereau). Most of the collection consists of recordings made on site in Sub-Saharan Africa.
  
• The collection of musical instruments (organology) comprises 8,000 objects, most of them from the Congo. It is the largest collection in the world of musical instruments from Central Africa.
  Thanks to the MIMO project, the digitisation of the musical instruments is currently being carried out. This will be put online in the fall of 2011. Visit a virtual exhibition on musical instruments from the MIMO project on the Europeana website.
