The Musical Museum contains one of the world's foremost collections of self-playing musical instruments. The collection embraces tiny musical boxes, reproducing pianos, orchestrions, residence organs and violin players. A star exhibit is the "Mighty Wurlitzer" cinema organ which rises up from beneath the stage to entertain visitors as it did in the "Golden Age" of cinema. Discover how music was captured and instruments powered and experience the actions and sounds of self-playing instruments. Specialist, volunteer, guides demonstrate instruments at weekends and on selected days each week. The Riverview Tea Room opens on Sundays and offers a range of light refreshments. There is a concert hall that seats over 200 people and a shop featuring a range of musically themed gifts. Special events take place throughout the year and include a monthly Tea Dance on Saturday afternoons with the Wurlitzer organ.
