Musical Museum, Brentford

The Musical Museum spans three main galleries filled with self-playing musical instruments, including pianolas, orchestrions, and mechanical organs from different periods.

Founded in 1963 by Frank Holland MBE as the British Piano Museum, the institution moved to a purpose-built structure near Kew Bridge in 2008.

The museum maintains a collection of 20,000 music rolls within a specialized library, preserving the mechanical music heritage of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Guided tours operate at 10:30 AM, 12:30 PM, and 2:30 PM, with adult tickets priced at £16.50 and reduced rates for children and Hounslow residents.

The facility houses a restored Wurlitzer theatre organ and a 12-rank roll-playing residence pipe organ that perform during regular concerts and film screenings.
