The museum occupies the former Paillard music box factory and reveals to the public a collection of mechanical automatons, barrel organs, orchestrions, mechanical pianos and, of course, music boxes. One can discover a reconstituted workshop from the beginning of the 20th century, such as was found in music box factories, and admire Thorens and Paillard radios, as well as typewriters, clocks and watches. A part of the exhibition tells the story of the evolution from gramophone to record player. The public can attend demonstrations and auditions of automatons and mechanical musical instruments.
