The Speelklok Museum, located in Utrecht, the Netherlands, is a unique museum specializing in self-playing musical instruments. It is housed in the Buurkerk, one of the largest and oldest parish churches of Utrecht. The museum offers a delightful experience for both children and adults, showcasing a wonderful world of self-playing musical instruments, including music boxes, musical clocks, pianolas, and barrel organs, many of which are still able to play for visitors. The museum has its origins in an exhibition of mechanical organs and other musical automata in Utrecht in the summer of 1956. The success of this exhibition led to the creation of a permanent national museum dedicated to mechanical musical instruments. The museum's restoration workshops are known for their excellent standards, and the collection is kept playing thanks to the highly skilled Restoration Room. The history of these instruments dates back to the 16th century in the Netherlands, with the use of mechanical musical instruments. The museum has become popular nationwide and internationally, and it held a special exhibition, "Royal Music Machines," for its 50-year Jubilee in 2006, featuring instruments loaned from renowned museums such as the Hermitage Museum, the Louvre, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
