THE MUSEUM OF MECHANICAL MUSIC INSTRUMENTS

Rudesheim - Germany

The Brömserhof, a historic mansion in the centre of the old town, is a half timbered building which was built in 1559, although parts of the building date back to 1310. Today it is a museum and houses Germany's first Museum of Mechanical Music Instruments. This is a wonderful collection of 350 instruments from 3 centuries.....from small 18th century music boxes to large organs from funfairs. In two of the windows are glockenspiels with carillon bells made of Meissen porcelain.
During the Christmas Market, in the courtyard there is a kiddies' funfair and pets corner.
