Museum Speelklok

Amazing museum. Not very big but worth visiting. Specially the tour is highly recommend. They give it in both languages, English and Dutch. The museum staffs are very friendly. There are a lot of collection on musical items, so if you are interested it can take you half a day easily to have all reasonably covered. I specially liked the exposition part. Lot to see and learn.

A truly charming and unique museum! 🎶 The highlight was definitely the guided tour. Our guide was fantastic: knowledgeable, funny, and clearly passionate about the instruments. Hearing the clocks, organs, and music boxes come to life was magical! The museum is beautifully set in an old church, and there are plenty of interactive exhibits for both kids and adults. Everything is well organized, and the staff are super friendly. It’s right in the city center, easy to reach, and there’s a cozy café for a break after exploring. Highly recommend spending at least a couple of hours here. It’s joyful experience full of music and history!

Fantastic museum! Do take the tour as you get to see many more of the music boxes in action this way. After or before the tour you can wander around on your own. Most tours are in Dutch and English as are most signs. They also have a nice cafe next to the gift shop.

Beautiful museum that has several objects on display that concern "street music". Various sizes for different types, with even automatic devices that make the visit fun!

Wonderful collection of autoplaying music equipments including huge ones like organs, small ones like music boxes, classical ones like piano and even an equipment with three violins. There are also rooms showing the mechanical mechanism on how the autoplaying works. Very interesting museum, I will visit again and take my family too.

When I planned visit to Utrecht, this museum was one that I wanted to visit. Museum is in old church. For now is there museum. Exhibition shows music machines. I suggest take the guided tour, get more information and you actually head the sound what these machines make. There is also small shop and cafe.

This was such a cool museum, especially for music lovers who enjoy the more unique aspects of musical instruments / machines! It definitely stands out since it is such a specific, quirky type of subject, and this was a perfect way to end my stay in the Netherlands after frequenting more traditional museums. It definitely shows that craving to have music in every shape, way, and form. The guided tour was fabulous. I thank my tour guide at noon on August 10, 2025, who translated to English only for me at first!). He also had a great dry sense of humor. After the tour, I walked around more and read many of the placards. It's amazing to see what people could do technologically speaking...all for the benefit of bringing great spirit and music into this world. It's beautiful to think that even though the creators of these mechanisms are long gone, they seem to come back to life every time a tune from their design is played.

They give a guided tour in both Dutch and English together. It’s a short guided tour of about 30 mins, where the various organs are played after which you are free to visit rest of the museum. The collection of organs is large varying from the tiny to the mightiest sizes. You can also get an understanding of how these work through some practical demonstrations. There is also a 10 minute movie which is in Dutch with English subtitles which gives a good overview.
