Christmas holidays
Magical christmas trees, jingling bells, and the most festive carols: celebrate the Christmas holidays at Museum Speelklok!
During the Christmas holidays, we’re also open on Mondays, December 23rd and 30th, as well as on Boxing Day. We are closed on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day. On December 24th and 31st, the museum will close a bit earlier, at 16.00.
Craft your own christmas bells
Ring in the New Year with handmade christmas bells! During the Christmas holiday, you can craft and decorate your own bells every day. Upon arrival, you’ll receive your very own craft kit filled with jingle bells, glitter, and stars to create a beautiful bell.
Christmas Musical Tour
During the Musical Tour, you’ll hear Christmas music coming from every corner of the museum! The street organs, orchestrions, and music boxes will play the most beautiful carols, and the self-playing musical Christmas tree will immerse you in the holiday spirit. Listen to classic Christmas tunes like Winter Wonderland, O Christmas Tree, and Last Christmas.
Turn an organ
A traveling journey into the world of magical musical machines — that’s the Speelklok Roadshow. During Christmas, it stays indoors, and for the holiday season, you’ll find the Roadshow in the nave of the museum. Turn a little organ, discover the history of street organs, and make music yourself!
