Location
The Museum of Music Technology is located in Harleysville, PA, just 45 minutes northwest of Philadelphia and a few minutes from the Lansdale exit on the Pennsylvania Turnpike’s Northeast Extension (I-476).
- Physical Address: 45 Mainland Road, Harleysville, PA
- Parking: Plenty of FREE onsite parking is available. We can accommodate RVs, trailers, and buses.
- Entrance: Please park on the side of the building that faces Route 63, not Mainland Road.
Recommended Ages
Although we love kids in general (and we have several of our own!), we have learned from experience that:
- Our collection is filled with historically important equipment that is fragile, expensive, and irreplaceable
- Our tours are 2.5 hours long and full of content that is not even remotely interesting to young children
- Bored children can become a distraction on tours and ruin the experience for both their parents and other guests
- Per museum policy, all tour groups must stay together throughout the entire tour so there is no opportunity to step away from the group for a few minutes for a “time-out”
THEREFORE we strongly discourage visitors from bringing children younger than 12 on our standard tours.
Accessibility
The Museum of Music Technology is housed in a historic former warehouse that is currently in the process of being retrofitted for full accessibility.
- Our tours are approximately 2.5 hours long and involve walking and standing for extended periods of time as well as climbing stairs.
- The majority of our building is wheelchair accessible but there are still a few areas that are only accessible via stairs.
- If you have limited mobility or specific accessibility needs, please contact us before booking your tour so we can discuss the accommodations we can offer.
Make a Day (or Weekend) of It!
The Museum of Music Technology is centrally located in the East Coast metro area within easy driving distance of:
Philadelphia, Reading, and the Lehigh Valley – under 1 hour
Lancaster, Lititz, and PA Dutch Country – about 1.5 hours
New York City, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. – 2 - 3 hours
If you’re planning a trip to any of these areas, we promise MMT is well worth a detour! And if you come to visit us, we’re happy to recommend some other cool places to check out.
