We chose this excursion whilst on a river cruise and weren't sure what we'd find but we were very pleasantly surprised. This place has several floors full of gorgeous old music machines of various types from tiny music boxes, to beautiful old player pianos, to huge multi-instrument musical machines. Our lovely young guide spoke excellent English and her enthusiasm for... More

It features mechanical music playing instruments of all sorts, from tiny music boxes to large multi instrument musical machines and some old victrolas. Our guide was a charming young woman, granddaughter of the collector... More

We were on a Rhine river cruise and docked in the late afternoon in Rudesheim. The weather had just turned rather nasty so we needed to be inside and fortunately we did have tickets for this museum. While I enjoy music; I rather envisioned a boring tour of different old instruments...was I in for a treat! The Museum is housed... More

With all respect to Ruedesheim's other attractions,but THIS is THE ONE you should visit if : A) Only have a couple of hours there. B) Have interest in(mechanically created-)music. C) You are a History or museum buff(Bromserhof castle origin from the 15th Century,and with its turrets and intricate details a sight in itself!). Do take the guided tour,as you otherwise... More

I was really worried when we were told our tour group had been booked to visit this site as it sounded like it might be an "acquired taste". But I couldn't have been more wrong - it was excellent. The music collection is in an impressive old manor house. The guide spoke quite good English and knew when to stop... More
