Discover the Melodies of History: Music Makers at the Museum Exhibition

Meet Kingsley Parker, a Kingston resident whose passion for vintage sound sparked a journey of discovery. From humble beginnings to amassing over 600 unique pieces, Kingsley's collection offers a glimpse into the evolution of musical technology.

Imagine winding up a music box from the 1700s, its delicate notes filling the air with nostalgia. Experience the charm of a street organ from the 1800s and marvel at a replica of Edison's first recording, made in 1886, on tinfoil. From wax cylinders to portable novelties, each item tells a story of innovation and craftsmanship. Join the Kingston SE National Trust Museum over Easter Saturday (10:00am - 3:30pm) and Easter Sunday (11:00am - 3:30pm) as they showcase a selection of Kingsley Parkers collection alongside their own historical treasures.
