Museum für Musikinstrumente der Universität, http://mfm.uni-leipzig.de/dt/index.php [Music]

Origins in private collection late 19th century. Part of Leipzig Univ since opening in 1929, but much destroyed in WW2. For history http://mfm.uni-leipzig.de/en/dasmuseum/Geschichte.php, after which it was reconstituted with new collections.

Several collections available online http://mfm.uni-leipzig.de/en/online_catalgues.php#

“The museum regularly accepts interns who will spend their semester breaks at the museum and work on different projects. Examples include researching individual collection pieces that have not yet been catalogued, developing instrument maker databases, and authoring museum texts in multiple languages. Furthermore, we offer students the opportunity to write thesis papers about the museum or a part of its collection in cooperation with the musicology faculty.”
