You view the automata from a separate lodge with a maximum of four available places. You buy a wooden token at the cash register, with which you open the hatch in your lodge (like a peep show). Then you see all the automata slowly passing by on a carousel. The automata each have one lever that you can turn yourself. The lever sets creaking wooden gears in motion, which, via copper rods and axes, brings the animations carved from pear or linden wood to life. The repetitive stories are short and sweet, and the fragile-looking, rattling technique knows how to move you. This special peep show puts a smile on the face of young and old. After about 10 minutes, you have seen all the automata, and the hatch closes again.
