Museum Speelklok/ Musical Clock

The Music Box Museum is definitely one of the most worth visiting in the area, with hundreds of years of music boxes showing a very large number, different shapes and very beautifully made

A great little museum! Take a moment to wait for the guide and follow! The guide speaks English and Dutch. He is fun and expressive, and can even dance with the music! All the music and instruments are interactive and you can see the history and play some more modern things around. Very worth visiting! It took us only 1 1⁄2 hours and totally enjoyed our time in this museum!

Music Box Museum (Museum Speelklok) collects music boxes from all over the world, and there is also a world's most complex automatic playing machine. The Music Box Museum was originally an ancient church, across the river from the domed cathedral. The church is called Buurkerk, the earliest parish church in Utrecht. In 1529, Sister Berteken, 30, made a bold decision to isolate herself from the choir area surrounded by the masonry of the church to keep away from the evils of the world, when this part of the church was older and rather low compared to the church's nave. So the church hierarchy decided to rebuild this part, but they waited until the death of Sister Bertken, aged 87, in 1586.

Near the end of the journey, the last windmill silver ticket was dedicated to the music box museum. When I was a child, the impression of the music box was always opened and a girl began to dance with the music. It can be an eye-opener here, as long as the machine that can play music can be called a music box. The staff at the ticket office at the door speaks very heavy English, and we can hardly understand what he is talking about.

Very characteristic museum, although the area is small, but the atmosphere is very good, you can see the beautiful self-tone clock, hear the music, there are many children playing in it, there are some very professional knowledge introductions on the second floor. Tickets are actually a bit expensive, but with a museum card is not a problem
