There is no better way to put it; there are simply too few museums dedicated to the study of music. One of the first types of music is music of the Baroque era. Some of the most popular composers from the Baroque era who's works are still performed today include Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi. Baroque music is one of the most popular types of classical music that is still listened to, studied, and even performed to this day. If this music is so popular, why are there virtually no museums devoted to the study of this topic? Many serious musicians study Baroque music very frequently, but mainly through music history courses. Honestly, few people can say they love learning Music History. If a Baroque music museum were invented, people would enjoy Baroque music for what it's worth in a fun museum setting. Museums are great for stimulating interest in any subject matter. If a Baroque music museum existed, people could enjoy their time learning about Baroque music. Museums are very popular and attract many visitors who are interested in the subject, and many people today are interested in Baroque music. Today's performances of Baroque music are often played on modern instruments, offering the audience a similar experience to that of hearing music in the Baroque era. In the Baroque museum visitors would get the real deal. Guest speakers would lecture about Baroque instruments and music. Performances will only be presented on authentic Baroque instruments, not on modern versions of the instruments. A Baroque music museum would provide a great service for anyone interested in Baroque music, and would probably get other musicians and non-musicians interested in, or at least fascinated by Baroque music.
Here is a performance of a wooden flute and lute duet; both of these instruments are instruments that were very popular during the Baroque era.
