Horie Orgel Museum

Museum / Science Museum
Located in Kurakuen, Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture, this museum opened in 1993. The facility contains about 360 music boxes, mechanical instruments, and other items on display collected and donated by Mitsuo Horie during his lifetime. Most were collected in Europe and America throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, and there are also some precious items, such as a cylindrical music box beloved by Nicholas II of Russia. Reservations are required for entry. Three tours of about an hour each are offered daily, allowing visitors to learn about the history of music boxes and enjoy their wonderful tunes.

    アクセスは あまり良くないが よく調べていくこと。団体しか入れない日もあるので。季節の良い時期が いい。バスも阪急やJR芦屋からもある。演奏時刻も3回。
  • 結構混んでいました。

    あまりないオルゴールに関する博物館です。海外の方も結構いて思ったより混んでいました。とても楽しめました。
  • 坂がきつかった。

    苦楽園口が最寄駅になります。このあたりに住んでいるのですが、川沿いから離れてい歩いたことがないので、見つけにくかったです。行くまでの坂が本当にきつくて母と行きましたが、たいへんでした。戻りは、なぜか、慣れたのか楽でした。オルゴールは世界中のオルゴールが楽しめて、空気もよくて、気分の良い場所でした。行く価値はあると思います。ただ、暑い時期に行かないほうがいいです。
