GREATEST HITS TOURS:
Dive into the world of music technology and explore unique instruments from the National Music Centre’s world-renowned collection. This is your chance to see how music is made and experience one-of-a-kind instruments in action. Step beyond the exhibits as interpreters go behind the glass to demonstrate historic artifacts, revealing the mechanics, sounds, and stories that make each instrument extraordinary. Plus, this tour includes a sneak peek into NMC’s recording studios! For an in-depth studio experience, check out the Backstage Pass tours.
BACKSTAGE PASS TOURS:
Take an exclusive tour backstage at Studio Bell and see music come to life in the National Music Centre’s recording studios! Catch a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the working spaces of our world-class recording facilities* and hear the stories behind notable artifacts — spanning 450 years of music innovation and technology — guided by NMC’s talented music educators. Visitors will gain insight into some of NMC’s most treasured items — that few members of the public have seen — from the earliest instruments in the NMC Collection, such as a 16th century Trasuntino Harpsichord, to modern electronics, like TONTO, considered to be the ‘holy grail’ of synthesizers. Plus, you’ll get to see the legendary Rolling Stones Mobile Studio, where countless hit records were recorded.
