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 has
attractive views over the River Thames and offers a range of
refreshments including light lunches. 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.
