Kessels Museum is not far from Tilburg train station. It's not too big museum, quite small but not too small. Entry cost 10 euro for adults , 5 euro for kids (not older than 12) and free for kids below 3 years. We had Museum card so it's free for us. - No need to book in advanced.
Museum has 3 floor, ground floor is also cafe. Exhibition for history etc. upstairs are lots of music instruments they made ,to show and explain how it's work. Also has workplace for volunteer to show how to fix or make instruments etc. When we were there, very nice gentleman (volunteer staff) is so kind, he's show and explain how things works , we are really appreciated. Thank you very much.

Drum set, guitar, saxophone, small piano and many more. you and touch anything and of course you can play them, even you don't know how but it's fun to try. Not so many chance we had opportunity to try them so it's so fun and noisy there!
