Museum Speelklok, self-playing musical instruments - Utrecht, Netherlands (2010)

Museum Speelklok has a collection of self-playing musical instruments from the 16th century to the present day. (The word 'speelklok' means musical clock.)
Self-playing musical instruments come with a program enabling them to play music without the aid of a human performer.
They exist in an overwhelming variety of types and sizes:
- musical clocks announce the striking of the hour with preludes on bells, organ pipes or strings
- musical boxes play their tuned steel combs from pinned brass cylinders or steel discs
- pianolas and orchestrions play their music as programmed on wooden, brass-pinned cylinders and perforated paper rolls
- barrel organs play their music from pinned wooden barrels
- large street organs, fairground organs and dance organs play from folding cardboard music books
Over the years the museum has become popular nationwide and internationally. The museum's reparation workshop is a leader in its field.
The museum was founded in 1956. Since 1984, it is housed in the former medieval church 'Buurkerk'.
