beautiful music and cheerful guide! Enjoyed this tour so much. Even got a happy birthday song played
優美な音、 ⁡オルゴールの世界に、 見学を、⁡ 満喫したり、⁡ ⁡充実したり、... 迫力満点!!! 🥰💯⁡ ⁡Not the usual pop songs we are listening in everyday lives but immerse in the unique melody from various musical boxes which existed more than a century ago. From a miniature musical box to a luxury large scale standing musical box, from a personal entertainment to a commercialized purpose, musical boxes in history have played different roles over a century. ⁡⁡⁡The owner had given us clear and in-sightful guided tour which was exceptional and fruitful! ⁡We understood that Musical Box making craftmanship which existed centuries ago, indubitably mind-blowing and worth respecting! ⁡⁡Without a doubt, Singapore Musical Box Museum is definitely worth a visit for people of all ages and nationality. ⁡⁡Under the roof of a rich historial architecture, the nostalgic Peranakan Cafe serving delicious nyonya kuehs is surely a bonus! I truly appreciate Peranakan culture part of Singapore's unique Heritage.
nice experience to learn about musical box related history and even had a nice meal before the actual tour, which is like icing on the cake!
came with yummy meals together with the ticket, overall great experience especially the Peranakan food for lunch!
A unique experience for tourists who want to learn about music and craftsmanship history in Singapore. Though it is quite a small place compared to other museums, the pieces shown to us during the tour were very precious and Sir Minami was really informative as the owner. This guided museum tour added a reflective and more human touch to our experience in contrast with the fast-paced and busy culture in Singapore. Complimentary coffee and sweets in their cafe were also served by polite staff.
It was our first visit to the Singapore Musical Box Museum and it was a nice experience. The only downside is that the tickets are rather expensive and it may not be worth a repeat visit.
definitely worth visiting and there are so many different types of musical “box” on display. an eye opening experience!
conveniently located near Tanjong Pagar mrt. quite an interesting first time experience! expect to spend about an hour. there

Musical Boxes were an important symbol of European culture dating back to the 19th century and early 20th century.

Historical resources have shown that Singapore played an integral part in the progress and development of musical boxes in South-east Asia during that time frame.

In this Singapore’s first musical box museum, we aim to share the historical background from the rise to the fall of the musical boxes to how it made its way to Singapore in the 19th century to the public.
