Default Re: Museums

Should you find yourself in The Netherlands, make time to visit the Museum Speelklok in Utrecht.

No vintage electonics, but I hope a mention is allowed as the museum houses an interesting collection of clocks, music boxes, automata, self playing instruments, barrel, dance and fair organs. I know these things are of interest to some of our members.

There are guided tours where a selection of the instruments are demonstrated. I spent a good four hours there.

See some of the instruments in action here....

(No connection with the museum or the Wintergatan band, but their Marble Machine video is worth a look too!)
