The history of these instruments begins in the 16th century in the Netherlands with the use of church carillons. Over the centuries, people's general desire to be surrounded by music has led to the invention of all kinds of self-playing musical instruments: musical clocks, music boxes, orchestrions (self-playing orchestras) and traditional Dutch street organs. . All of these instruments, including the famous street organ called Arabier and the so-called 8th World Wonder the Violin, can be seen and heard during the lively museum tour.
