The Musical Museum
About
The Musical Museum is a living museum of music history and performance, tucked in the heart of Brentford just steps from Kew Bridge. Its collection spans five centuries of musical invention, from elaborate self‑playing pianos and gramophones to cutting‑edge Korg synthesizers in the dedicated gallery. Guided tours—run by enthusiastic volunteers—take visitors through the galleries and up into the iconic 12‑rank Wurlitzer Theatre Organ, which still plays aloud for silent films and special concerts. After the tour you can relax at the café overlooking the Thames, sip tea or enjoy a bite before heading to the gift shop. Admission is modest: adults pay £15, children £5, with concession and resident rates at £12. Group visits of 15 or more can be booked in advance, and the museum’s 250‑seat concert hall is available for private events, meetings and celebrations. With its blend of historic instruments, interactive demonstrations and a cozy concert hall, the museum offers an engaging experience for music lovers, history enthusiasts and families alike.
