Are you a music lover and a history buff who also enjoys learning about antiques? If your answer is yes, plan to spend a day at the Bayernhof Museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The Bayernhof Museum is the former home of Chuck Brown, a collector who had a passion for antique music boxes and automatic music machines. Upon his passing, his massive collection of one-of-a-kind automatic music players has been put on display for visitors from near and far to enjoy. Therefore, expect to be impressed by the displays of antiques well over 100 years old.
One of the charming things about your visit to the Bayernhof Museum is that it’s located in a quieter part of Pittsburgh.
