    Museum Speelklok in Utrecht is een goed museum dat gericht is op kinderen, maar waar veel te ontdekken is met een leuke en intressante collectie. Een rondleiding is zeker een aanrader, waardoor een gedeelte van de collectie van het museum pas echt tot leven komt! Het museum is gevestigd in een voormalige kerk, wat het extra uniek maakt. Aanrader!
