Origin and history

The Musée de la Musique mécanique aux Gets is a cultural establishment located in the municipality of Gets, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The museum is dedicated to the preservation and enhancement of mechanical musical instruments, a technical and artistic heritage often unknown. Its location in an Alpine resort suggests a link with local tourism and the desire to offer an original cultural offer.

Museums dedicated to mechanical music are rare in France. They play an important role in the transmission of artisanal and industrial know-how, while offering a dive into the history of leisure and popular music. In mountainous areas such as the Gets, these cultural initiatives often complement a seasonal tourism economy by diversifying the attractions offered to visitors.
