Listening to an organ
Listen to the whole first, then try to recognise how different sounds work together. During the explanation, ask how the music in the instrument is controlled. That way a street organ means more than just a richly decorated exterior.
Comparing other instruments
Music boxes and an accordion collection offer other ways into the subject. Compare size, operation and sound without expecting all the instruments to be demonstrated at the same time at every moment. The guided explanation helps you follow the differences.
A combination in Loods20
The EDAH Museum is in the same building and combination tickets are available. Bear in mind the different Sunday start times. The Draaiorgelmuseum is wheelchair accessible but has no wheelchairs or rollators to borrow. Groups can also arrange other days by appointment.
Before you go
If combining, check each museum’s own opening times, especially on the first Sunday of the month.
