Floor after floor of printed rare books, Hand scribed bibles , tiny -tiny books and every imaginable printing press. A small furnace model with a mold and bronze casting as a example of how individual letters could be cast and finished. A engraving machine to make plates for bond certificates. Similar to money certificates. And a movie theater explaining the history of the man. Birth to death. Really great 3 hours. Nice little Art shop at the end.

Not something to go out of your way to experience, but I haven't seen anything like it. Machines that play real violins!

Our visit here was without question one of the highlights of my to Europe. The museum is inside a 15th century building that is so interesting to look at. You can't just walk through the museum on your own. Because of how fragile some of these machines must be a tour guide goes with you and explains the story behind each device before they operate them for your enjoyment. The minimum group size is four, but admission is so cheap I think it would be worth it to pay for missing people if you have less than four. The machine in the first room completely fascinated me. It was called a Weber Maesto Orchestrion and I've never seen anything like it. The orchestrion plays music that is meant to sound like a band is playing it. The multiple instruments harmonize wonderfully together and played a catchy tune. I liked it so much I ended up buying a CD of orchestrion songs from the gift store. When you start thinking about how this intricate machine was built over ninety years ago when technology was so primitive it's just mind blowing. I did some research when I got home and learned that less than ten of these exist in the world and one was sold in a Sotheby's auction for close to a million dollars! This alone was worth the price of admission for me. Another highlight was a machine that played violin music. There were multiple violins wrapped around a column but the catch was that each violin only had one string. The mechanism that spun around the violins would then hit each string as needed to play a melody. They had replicas of wind-up mechanical bird boxes that had a little bird that would jump around and sing when triggered. Some of these are actually for sale and if they would have been $200 or less I would have thrown my credit card down so fast your head would spin. Starting at $600 is too rich for my blood. We saw several other machines on our tour and the hour flew by so quickly. If you're anywhere near this museum it is a "must do" as far as I'm concerned.

This museum has lockers to store your items for 1 euro. It's not a very big museum, but has 3 floors. It's best to take the elevator if you don't want to climb the stairs. There's a workshop demonstration on how the printing press was operated back in Gutenberg's days. It's a good place to go to get out of the rain, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.

This man decided my small handbag was some sort of security threat and dramatically asked me to leave the museum. Never mind that I'd already strolled past five other staff ( including the one at the entrance ) who said it was perfectly fine. So there I was, trekking back to the entrance, ready to exit in shame-only to be told, "Oh, don't worry, he does that all the time." Ah yes, every good museum needs it's resident tyrant to keep things interesting. The museum itself? Decent, if you like your exhibits laid out like a scavenger hunt designed by someone with commitment issues. The cafe, however, redeemed the experience-especially the kind lady working there and their cute photo corner. Honestly, she should be running the place.
