'From Musical Clock To Street Organ' and that's what it is.
This museum is housed in a huge building and the whole groundfloor is taken up by Street Organs (how Dutch would you like it!).
On the first floor are cabinets with musical clocks, early 'record' players, toys with music, musical birdcages and more small objects. A really good exhibition.
If you prefer not to explore yourself: there are tours on the hour that guide you through the whole collection in 50 minutes. For that you also get a demonstration of the instruments, so even the individual not on tour (me) still gets to hear the music! Very impressive.
The museum also has a good bookstore.
Opening times: Tues-Sat 10.00-17.00 Sun 12.00-17.00
Entrance fee: Euro7

This museum shows every imagineable piece of automatic music playing device that was ever built. Everything from small music boxes to massive dance organs. Don't miss out on this museum, I loved it. Leave a Comment Other Contact: 231 2789

 VAN SPOEELKLOK TOT
PIEREMENT by eden_teuling
In this museum you can see and hear carillion clocks, music boxes, belly organs, orchestrations like the Hupveld Phonoliszt Violina, street-, fairy ground-, and dance hall organs.
Here I tell the story of the development of automatic musical instruments through the ages, ( from the 15th - 20th century ) and the important role the Low Countries have played in it.
All day long the instruments are demonstrated during guided tours.
The address is Buurkerkhof 10, 3511 KC in Utrecht.
The museum is housed in the beautifully restored medieval Buurkerk , right in the centre of the old city of Utrecht.
CELEBRATE your BIRTHDAY in the museum's CafZ. There will be an enormous cream cake complete with cake candles and the name of the hero of the feast, lemonade and a presentation with a rousing 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' on one of the great organs.
You can compose and play your own music with the 'plingplong' and on leaving there is a surprise for everyone.
So celebrate a merry, festive and musical birthday in this museum.
The museum SECRETARIAAT will be happy to inform and advise you on this special arrangement and reservations etc..
N.B. : THERE are guided tours every hour (also in English) with DEMONSTRATIONS of the instruments and I myself enjoyed it very much!

Great collection of musical boxes and fairground organs, well worth looking round. As everywhere in Holland they also do the tour in English. There's a room where you can experiment with sound making machines. Leave a Comment

The collection of the National Museum from Musical Clock to Street Organ comprises musical clocks, music boxes, pianolas, orchestrions, street organs, fairground organs and dance hall organs. The instruments are demonstrated during guided tours. These start each hour on the hour. The repertoire ranges from classical tunes to tearjerkers and from Vienna waltzes to modern house music.
