Museum staff and experts, representatives of the leading European companies and members of the international community “Musical Box Society” attended the professional sessions at the site of the Restoration Center and exposition.

During the sessions, special attention was paid to the discussion of clock movements, design features of some items from the collection of self-playing musical objects.
