Muzeum Ludowych Instrumentów Muzycznych w Szydłowcu

Szydłowiec

Tourists travelling the popular route between Kraków and Warsaw should find time to stop in Szydłowiec near Radom. The town boasts beautiful historic buildings and the unique Museum of Folk Musical Instruments.The museum is housed in the castle of the Szydłowiecki and Radziwiłł families, one of the most beautiful early Renaissance magnate residences in Poland. After putting on the headphones and switching on the audio guide, we are transported to another world – a village dance or a country wedding. It is a unique opportunity to discover the appearance and sound of such musical rarities as the ancient fidel, the Biłgoraj suka rescued from oblivion, or the simple pierdziel.
