Amazing hidden gem. Working museum and concert space, fascinating history of music around the world told through the instruments themselves. Has a pristine Georgian concert space that has to be one of the nicest places in Edinburgh. Live performances and free entry. Staff super friendly and helpful.

Wonderful hall, beautifully redone inside. Free to wander and poke around - well worth a visit.

Originally opened in 1763 , St Cecilia’s Hall is the oldest purpose-built concert hall in Scotland. It is the only place in the world where it is possible to hear eighteenth century music in an eighteenth century concert hall played on eighteenth century instruments. Owned by The University of Edinburgh, it contains one of the world’s most important collections of historic musical instruments, many of which remain playable in a concert setting. The new St Cecilia’s Hall museum brings this collection under one roof, allowing the story of the collection as a whole to be presented and enabling visitors to truly engage with the objects and their stories. The elegant oval concert hall on the first floor of the building has been in continuous use since it opened in the eighteenth century and remains at the heart of the Georgian building, but is now complemented by four galleries on both ground and first floor. The restoration work, which has taken place over the last two years allows the University to offer more performances, enhance access by increasing the opening hours of the museum and provide new ways for more visitors to engage, participate and learn about its world-class collection of instruments. The museum is currently closed due to major redevelopment work but will re-open to the public in Spring 2017.
