The Cuckoo land Museum located in Tabley, Cheshire, England has collected and is thought to be the largest collection
of antique cuckoo c locks that were made in the Black Forest. The collection has been brought together by brothers Roman and Maz Piekarski who, are foremost horologists and clock restorers, have sought and renovated the rarest and most notable examples over careers of thirty years. Most of the clocks in the museum are rare, unique, and combine a number of methods of time telling. You will truly be amazed by the variety, quality and ingenuity of the ancient craft of Cuckoo Clock making and the tools used to create them, which are also displayed at the museum.
The collection is always changing and preservation is now a permanent commitment. They aim  to achieve the most comprehensive and complete assembly of fine clocks of their type anywhere. Several of the cuckoo clocks are working displays others are awaiting repair and finish. As tour the museum you will hear many of the old sounds of Europe, particularly as the musical movements begin to play in tunes of the period.

The museum’s collection is regarded as the most important of its type in Britain, Europe and the rest of the world. They host a variety of Cuckoo Clocks, Quail clocks, Trumpeter clocks and other associated musical movements, all of which are varying in age and history.
