Musee D′automates Et De Boîte À Musique (Cima)

The museum occupies the former Paillard factory of music boxes and reveals to the public a collection of mechanical automatons, barrel organs, orchestrons, mechanical pianos and, of course, music boxes… You can discover there a reconstructed workshop from the early 20C, as found in music box factories, admiring Thorens and Paillard radio stations, as well as typewriters, clocks and watches. Part of the exhibition tells the story of the evolution from gramophone to record player.
