The aim of the consortium is now to become the single access point for information on public collections of musical instruments for the entire world. With that in mind we are actively seeking new museums to contribute digital content, not just from with Europe but around the globe. We believe that this represents a unique opportunity for museums to pull their resources and contribute to a truly worldwide initiative which will have long term benefits to anyone with an interest in collections of musical instruments.
