## Culture and sights

### Music

Mackenbach's reputation as a musicians' village was established by the [wandering musicians](/source/Wandering_musician) from the mid-19th century to the 1930s. They travelled with bands and circuses around the world and made music worldwide - in all of Europe, but also in the US, Australia and Africa) - in order to compensate for the poor income from agriculture in their homeland.

Today their music continues to be played in [male voice choirs](/source/Male_voice_choir), in [music societies](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Music_societies&action=edit&redlink=1) and in Protestant [church choirs](/source/Church_choir).

### Museums

The [West Palatine Musicians Museum](/source/West_Palatine_Musicians_Museum) is dedicated to the West Palatine travelling musicians.
