Asian Music Centre
A holistic approach to discovering Asian music

Our new groundbreaking multimedia education centre provides visitors with an atmosphere and ambience in which Asian music takes place. People of all ages and interests can discover and experience the extraordinary and wide variety of music from Asia. The Centre has been created through funding from the Arts Capital Lottery Fund.

Workshops

We have a regular programme of hands-on workshops, informative seminars and beautiful recitals. Visit the What's On page to find out more.

If you are a school teacher wishing to bring your students to our Centre, please visit the For Schools page.

Museum & Archive

In the museum that is opening later this year, there will be thematic exhibitions, displaying some of the over 100 musical instruments that we own.

Visitors wishing to research a particular topic more deeply, can visit our Archive Room , where they can access our extensive collection of audio-visual resources and study in a quiet environment.

The museum will also feature the interactive ‘Sensor Room' , where you can use your body and create music with beams of sound.

Location

We are located in Acton, West London, near Acton Park. Click here for map and directions.
