Additional Information

It is located in a former factory building that was the home of the Dutch company N. J. Goudswaard & Zonen, which made musical instruments such as pianos and harpsichords.

Over the years, people’s desire to be surrounded by music led to the invention of all sorts of self-playing musical instruments, such as musical boxes, musical clocks (carillon clocks), the singing nightingale, orchestrions (self-playing orchestras), and the traditional Dutch street organs. The museum has a highly skilled restoration workshop, which keeps the tools operational and playing for generations.
