Visitors can explore a vast collection of automatic musical instruments from the late 19th to early 20th centuries, including intricately designed music boxes. The museum's SIKI Garden features a nature path surrounding a serene pond, where guests can enjoy the melodies of outdoor musical installations. Regular concerts are held in the garden, showcasing various musicians and allowing visitors to experience live performances in a tranquil setting.
