Stiftelsen Musikkulturens Främjande

The Foundation for the Furthering of Music Culture (Swedish: Stiftelsen Musikkulturens Främjande) was established in 1920 by Captain Rudolf Nydahl to manage the collections of musical instruments, manuscripts and other objects related to music that he built up during his lifetime.[1][2]

Background

The collections are displayed in museum premises at Riddargatan 37 in Stockholm and include around 2,000 original autograph compositions by most of the major composers, such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Chopin and others,[3] as well as around 6,000 original letters and documents. In addition, there are around 550 historical musical instruments from different countries and eras, as well as a library of music literature and printed music and an image archive. The collection also includes paintings and sculptures based on music, as well as objects belonging to famous musical personalities.
