Netherlands Music Institute
The Netherlands Music Institute (NMI) is the central institution for the preservation of the musical heritage of the Netherlands.
Thousands of music manuscripts, letters and other documents will be found in the music archives. The library contains numerous early prints of treatises and scores, as well as modern editions and reference works. The collections serve as a source for historical research and modern music practice.
The Dutch government has decided to cancel its support of the NMI as of 1 January 2013. Meanwhile, the NMI is making every effort to continue its task of preserving musical heritage. Commentaries and reports may be found on the page Het NMI moet blijven! (Dutch only).
The NMI will be closed on Thursday 17 May and Friday 18 May.
