A globally unique experience delving into the history of automation and the mechanical origins of computing. This isn't just about machines that automatically play music. There are exhibits like the sister pianola to the one on the Titanic, but there are also displays showing the evolution of this technology. Great to visit. And the gift shop is focused on beautiful boxes and accoutrements and the cafe is simple with a great view. Take the 1 hour guided tour. Superb. A little jewel of a museum tucked away in the hills outside of Basel. A tailored experience with itemized guided tour was a real bonus. The collection covers boxes to jukeboxes and most things in between. Worth a visit on a sunny day! A wonderful little museum hiding some real gems! The kids loved it, we enjoyed it immensely too. There’s plenty of parking, the staff working there are all super friendly, kind and helpful and you can buy some beautiful boxes with different tunes. Come at the right time and you can take a tour which they say is pretty cool (we couldn’t wait that long but next time!). Anyway, I’d definitely recommend coming if you are around. Ery surprising collection of music. Automate in a small village in Seewen. It was the summer residence of a rich entrepreneur from zurich who collected instruments. He then decide to expose and then gave his collection to the state. Incredible boxes, and great explanations and demonstrations of the instruments. Pianos, organs, and even automatic orchestras. Well worth a visit I had the best time at the museum for automatons. We had a guided tour which walked us through the history of automatons, beautiful melodies made by the different instruments, the Britannic organ, exhibition of some of the finest pocket watches and boxes. The ride up there was also part of the experience, you get to see the beautiful and green landscape of Switzerland. very calm and beautiful museum. need to check excursion time table in advance so you can hear and see how everything works. Magic. Music, cozy and private trip in time. I was the only visitor on a summer Saturday. The guide lady was so nice to explain my everything as if there was a regular group. I've visited many museums in Switzerland, and I can say this is a hidden gem.
