オルゴールの歴史や仕組みなどを解説しながら実際に動かして音楽を聴く演奏会が開かれます。これ……驚きました。古いオルゴールがあんなに素晴らしい音色が出るなんて！正直、舐めてました。。もともと全然期待してなかったんですが。。。え？オルゴールって、こんな音出るの？。。。と。(^_^;)よく昔からウチにもあったような小さなオルゴールを想像していたのですが、アンプでも入ってるのか？と思う...
とても癒される事間違いなし！

沢山の展示オルゴールを聞かせていただけて本当に素晴らしい音色で癒されました。価値はありました。あちこちのオルゴール館にいきましたが、ここが一番時間的にも長く聞かせていただけたのではないでしょうか？本当に素晴らしかったです。
