The Maison Adolphe Sax is the birthplace of the inventor of the saxophone, born in Dinant in 1814. The small, free museum tells his life story and displays a collection of saxophones and other instruments he designed. Audio clips let visitors experience the sound of the instrument, and the adjoining street features colourful saxophone sculptures representing the countries of the United Nations.

The visitor space on the ground floor is entirely step-free and offers enough room to manoeuvre. An accessible toilet is available. The upper floor is less easy to reach, but the main exhibition is on the ground level.

Parking is possible along the Meuse quayside nearby, with some reserved spaces. The museum is in the centre of Dinant, close to the Collégiale and the pedestrian area.
