The meeting should be of interest to museum curators and others who work with instrument collections, and scholars active in the realm of Chinese musical instruments and instrumental music. The meeting takes place in the wake of the initiation of the MIMO project (Musical Instrument Museums Online) which was started in September 2011. MIMO opened a public online access point to the musical instruments catalogues of the project’s affiliated museums in Europe.
