The Museum of Musical Automata in the Bergisches Land (Intangible UNESCO Cultural Heritage of Humanity)
In the former village church in Marienheide-Kempershöhe, the Barrel Organ Museum presents mechanical musical instruments from three centuries. Visitors can hear music from musical clocks, cylinder and disc music boxes, player pianos, orchestrions, and barrel organs. The museum also offers stories and personal anecdotes, folk songs and kitchen songs, some of which visitors can sing along to. A carillon can also be heard on the north side of the building.

Changing exhibitions and special events will let you the cheerful world of mechanical music experience it in ever new facets.
