Music, Radio, and Cinema Museum
The Music, Radio, and Cinema Museum at Eschenstruth is a “must” for all technology freaks.
With great love to detail, the passionate collector Werner Baus has assembled an extensive exhibition. In three sections, the museum presents over 100 years of technological history.
In the collection of mechanical musical instruments, you can marvel at music boxes, street organs, player pianos, electric pianos, orchestrions, gramophones, and phonographs from the time between 1865 and 1930.
A second section presents audio furniture from the 50ies to 70ies. Radios, music and television chests, disc players, and audio tape recorders are shown.
The third collection deals with Kassel’s cinematic history. Since cinematography reached Kassel in 1910, there have been roughly 50 cinemas at Kassel, and the museum presents many remnants from past decades.
Music CDs and DVDs on audio furniture and the cinematic history of Kassel are on sale at the museum. Street organs can be rented for festivities of all kind.
The Music, Radio and Cinema Museum is open in the context of a guided tour on every Saturday from March 1 to October 31 from 14:30 onwards. Upon request via telephone, tours are also possible at other times.
A visit to the museum is, of course, also possible for wheelchair users, the entry to the museum is entirely barrier-free.
To get to the museum, take tram 4, stop “Eschenstruth”. (The Mühlenweg starts immediately adjacent to the tram stop.) If you want to go by car, take autobahn 7 and federal road 7 to Eschenstruth. (The museum is located 150 metres away from the entry to the village.)
The entry to the museum is for free; however, donations for the maintenance of the museum are more than welcome.
