Mitigating factors (reference only)

These pros don't cancel out the warnings — they're just supplementary info if you still go.

  • There are so many types of music boxes that there is plenty to see.
  • The old-fashioned, cozy atmosphere is nice.

💡 How to minimize disappointment

You should factor in the crowded interior and high prices more than the admission itself. Start with the quieter second floor, and ask staff first whether you can listen to any expensive music boxes.
