About the Exhibition: Wat klinkt daar in Tilburg? Ontdek het Kessels Museum
The museum looks back at the world-class musical instrument factory founded in Tilburg by Mathieu Kessels. You discover the objects, machines and stories that remain, shown interactively so that history can be seen, heard and felt.
In the MusicLab you may touch percussion, wind and string instruments and make music together, while the restoration workshop lets you watch craftspeople restore instruments by hand. There are also guided tours, a treasure hunt for children and creative workshops.
