First created in Europe in the 18th century, music boxes were a popular way to enjoy music before gramophones took over in the early 1900s. Now, you can learn about their history at the Musical Box Museum. It is the first museum of its kind in Singapore, and visitors can tour the building with a curator or researcher who will share their specialized knowledge of these delicate instruments.
