The Musical Museum
The Museum was founded in 1963 by the late Frank Holland MBE who was passionate that self-playing musical instruments should be preserved and not destroyed and lost to future generations. Frank was a pioneer in this field and firmly believed that collections of musical instruments should be heard as well as seen. His work has been continued by enthusiastic volunteers ever since.Travelling to the Museum Train: from London's Waterloo Station to Kew Bridge.
