Musik-Museum Beeskow

The Musik-Museum Beeskow is a music museum in the town of Beeskow housing an extensive collection of mechanical musical instruments across multiple levels. The exhibits demonstrate how rotating cylinders, gears, and other mechanical systems made different instruments sound on their own.

The museum documents the rise of mechanical music instruments from the 1800s through the early 1900s, when this technology dominated homes and public spaces. The technology gradually faded as electricity and radio became widespread and changed how people consumed music.

The museum focuses on mechanical music instruments that reveal how people created and shared music without electricity in earlier times. This collection shows how craftsmanship and creativity combined to make music accessible to ordinary households.

The museum is located in central Beeskow and opens Tuesday through Sunday, with group tours available by arrangement. Plan to spend two to three hours exploring the different instruments and how they work.

Many of the instruments here still work and can be played, letting visitors hear the actual sounds these machines produced. This hands-on experience provides a direct connection to the music of a bygone era.
