Inside the museum, you will find numerous pianolas (player pianos), reproduction pianos and related objects. The museum archive has a collection of over 30,000 perforated paper music rolls, most of which can be played on the different instruments housed in the museum. Visit the Pianola Museum to learn more about the history and technology of these magical instruments that nearly play themselves.
