It has a collection of seventeen accordions from different factories (Guerrini, Soprani, Scandalli, Hohner, Roland, Farfisa, Borsini, Parrot...) and origins (Italy, Germany, the former GDR, China and the former Kingdom of Saxony).

The museum is equipped with explanatory panels on the origins of the accordion and its most notable manufacturers since its inventor, the Armenian naturalized Austrian, Cyrill Demian (1772-1847), received an official patent from the Vienna Patent Office in 1829 for a new instrument he called the accordion.

This museum is not only the first museum dedicated to this musical instrument in the Autonomous Community, but, in all its modesty, it is the first public museum in Spain.

The museum was born out of an interest in recovering some traditions long forgotten in this municipality, primarily due to emigration during the second half of the last century, including the love of the accordion. Accordion classes are offered and are very popular.
