The Museum für Musikautomaten in Seewen (Solothurn) features one of the world's largest and most famous collections of Swiss music boxes, music boxes, watches and jewelry with musical works, and other mechanical music machines from the 18th century to the present day. Also in its collection is the long-lost organ of the Britannic, sister ship of the Titanic that sunk in 1912. The instrument, which had been missing for nearly a century, was unearthed during the restoration of the Welte philharmonic organ belonging to the museum. The museum’s reception area includes two fair organs and a Mortier Dance Organ that play on an alternating schedule every hour (starting at 11.30 am).
On this day, all are cordially invited to discover the museum through musical preludes and special guided tours through all exhibition halls. In addition, enjoy a small complimentary dessert with coffee, tea, or mineral water in the museum restaurant.
Admission on this day is free.
