Museum of Mechanical Music
In its own unique way, this slightly surreal "museum" is a place after which you listen to all the music differently. The ever-growing collection of more than 400 objects in seven halls of a huge building leaves no one cold. From music boxes, automatic pianos and orchestras, special and interesting pocket-sized instruments to Goliath, which weighs 5,000 kg – an "orchestrion" that creates an invisible orchestra of 75 musicians.
