Amazing collection of musical instruments that you wind up. Make sure you go for the 15:30 demonstration and be ready to be amazed. They also have a horse ranch at the back and facilities for birthday parties.

Absolutely amazing collection. It’s worth the drive from lisbon! Be sure to check the hours before going since it has limited opening times. It is also located on a small horse farm and they invite you to stop in.

This is a wonderful museum of music boxes, automatic piano and organs, toys, clocks, pictures and puppets with music and lots of old gramophones, wax cylinders, etc. It is possibly the most complete collection that traces the history of music machines and sound recording. The most amazing thing is that it is a private collection of Luis Cangueiro, who explains the items with passion in guided tours 3:30p.m. during the weekend. It is recommended to visit in weekends that you can hear the automatic instruments played instead of listening to sound recordings. There are also temporary exhibitions and workshops sometime. The museum is a bit far, that you need to drive or take a train to the station Pinhal Novo. Outside of the train station there is a taxi stand where you can find phone numbers to call a taxi, and the museum is about 10-15 mins drive from the station.

Visited this great museum yesterday and absolutely loved it! When you are in Lisbon and have plans to visit it: take a taxi from Pinhal Novo! I walked for over an hour... it was worth it but it saves you a lot of time if you take a taxi... Why I think you should go and visit this museum? Because it gives a great overview of how music machines evolved over the past 200 years!
