Name
Collection Reka
History
In 1960 the Museum obtained nearly 250 European and non-European musical instruments from Paul Kaiser-Reka of Brandenburg. With his stage-name "Reka" Kaiser was known as a music clown and variety-show artist who could play many instruments. During the course of his life (1881-1963) he amassed a collection of roughly 1000 instruments, some of which he sold to museums in Cologne, Brandenburg and Leipzig. Kaiser's son Berol inherited a part of the Collection, and with it he founded the Reka Musical Instrument Collection in Frankfurt an der Oder.
