Kijk & Luistermuseum: music you can watch at work

The Kijk & Luistermuseum in Bennekom is about mechanical musical instruments. Musical boxes, pianolas and barrel organs are also demonstrated here, so that looking and listening come together.

Plan your visit ↗

An instrument in motion

With a mechanical instrument, it is not only the music that is interesting. Also watch what moves and which action sets the sound going. A demonstration gives you the chance to link the visible mechanism to the audible result.

Different forms of music

From a musical box to a street piano, the scale of the instrument changes. Compare their appearance and the way they are operated. Alongside the musical instruments, the museum also pays attention to Veluwe regional history and textiles.

Practical listening

The museum is accessible for wheelchairs and rollators and has an induction loop. Groups can ask about visits outside the fixed afternoon hours. Around public holidays, allow for both extra opening days and earlier closing.

Before you go

Check the exceptions around public holidays and special evenings; sometimes the museum already closes at 16:00.
