The exposition of the museum consists of bells collected by the Grassmire family. Representatives of this family have been making bells for 400 years. During this time, the craftsmen have developed a unique ebb technology, which makes it possible to make copies that emit melodic sounds. An integral part of the museum is a foundry, where they are engaged in the restoration of old bells and the creation of new ones.

This is a really nice little hands-on museum that is part of the actual bell factory. Nice displays of bells and glockenspiels with the ability for the visitor to play them. Very nice and helpful staff are there to answer questions and assist.

Fascinating place with activities (different bells for you to try). Lots of history. Downside is that it is relatively expensive for its size

You can purchase bells that have a more poignant sound than any other bell. The tour was very interesting. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

I felt like I was walking back in time! I loved seeing the process of the bell making from the skilled family business for 15 generations.

This is a great experience to see how the bells are made, what makes the different sounds and behind the museum there is a real bells factory with centuries of existence!
