Museum Speelklok

This fun gallery where musical instruments are self-played, is for both children and adults.

The Museum Speelklok in Utrecht, Netherlands, is one of the most entertaining museums, which can be enjoyed by children as well. The corners of the museum rings with cheerful tunes. Listening to the mechanical music devices play transports you back in time when grandmother told tales of a Prince’s mechanical singing bird. Traditional street organs such as Arabier, the Violina, musical boxes, and orchestrions can be heard while taking the museum tour. Also, inside the music factory of the museum, children can compose, program, and play their personal musical box mixing.


Visitors can walk through the many exhibitions for stimulating learning. Moreover, technical craftsmanship of different musical instruments can be studied in the Museum Expedition by adults, and children can go on a mission to seek their favourite tune from one museum hall to another as the Organ monkey Toon conducts a fun treasure hunt just for them. Fun activities are held on a regular basis for both adults and children in Museum Speelklok. This makes it one of the rare few fun museum centres where even small kids do not get bored.
