Fie minutes' walk west of the Steam Museum along Kew Bridge Road and
Brentford High Street is the superb Musical Museum, a converted
church packed with musical automata and run by wildly enthusiastic and
engaging volunteers.
During the noisy ninety-minute demonstrations, you get to hear every
kind of mechanical music-making machine, from cleverly crafted music
boxes to the huge orchestrions that were once a feature of London's
swish cafés. The museum also boasts one of the world's finest
collections of player-pianos, and an enormous Art Deco Wurlitzer cinema
organ.
April-Oct Sat & Sun 2-5pm; July & Aug also Wed 2-4pm; £3.50. Kew Bridge
train station, from Waterloo; or bus #237 or #267 from Gunnersbury tube
station.
