Rheinau music island before the opening
Musikinsel Rheinau officially opens its doors to people and music with a public tour at the end of May. Test operations have been running since yesterday.
The public tour of the Music Island on Saturday, May 24, 2014, 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., marks the completion of a project that the Canton of Zurich has been pursuing for a long time. 13 years after the psychiatric center moved out, life is returning to the former monastery.
However, the new use of the Rheinau monastery island does not end with the inauguration of the music island. In addition to the music center, there are also plans for a home economics school, a restaurant and a museum.
With its 63 hotel rooms and 16 rehearsal rooms, Musikinsel now offers both professional musicians and music lovers a place to retreat and practice.
