Our visit here was without question one of the highlights of my to Europe. The museum is inside a 15th century building that is so interesting to look at. You can't just walk through the museum on your own. Because of how fragile some of these machines must be a tour guide goes with you and explains the story behind each device before they operate them for your enjoyment. The minimum group size is four, but admission is so cheap I think it would be worth it to pay for missing people if you have less than four. The machine in the first room completely fascinated me. It was called a Weber Maesto Orchestrion and I've never seen anything like it. The orchestrion plays music that is meant to sound like a band is playing it. The multiple instruments harmonize wonderfully together and played a catchy tune. I liked it so much I ended up buying a CD of orchestrion songs from the gift store. When you start thinking about how this intricate machine was built over ninety years ago when technology was so primitive it's just mind blowing. I did some research when I got home and learned that less than ten of these exist in the world and one was sold in a Sotheby's auction for close to a million dollars! This alone was worth the price of admission for me. Another highlight was a machine that played violin music. There were multiple violins wrapped around a column but the catch was that each violin only had one string. The mechanism that spun around the violins would then hit each string as needed to play a melody. They had replicas of wind-up mechanical bird boxes that had a little bird that would jump around and sing when triggered. Some of these are actually for sale and if they would have been $200 or less I would have thrown my credit card down so fast your head would spin. Starting at $600 is too rich for my blood. We saw several other machines on our tour and the hour flew by so quickly. If you're anywhere near this museum it is a "must do" as far as I'm concerned.

During a Germany trip, we started and ended our trip in Frankfurt. Stadel Museum is one of the top attractions on TripAdvisor in the city. I've been fortunate enough to visit some of the most significant museums of fine art in the world. Stadel Museum is on the same level as museums like the Hermitage, Prado, etc., but it is still very much worth your time. It's spacious and there's a lot of art to see. Some of the highlights include works of art by Degas, Rodin, Monet, Renoir, Titian, Warhol, and Picasso. Though the focus is on European art. A must-see when visiting Frankfurt!
