Day 29 - Carrousel Museum, Viking Bench

Many carrousel's had benches to ride on, not just the horses and other animals that went up and down. I think this bench was just too cute.

Day 29 - Carrousel Museum, Peforating machine (RT)

Since Music was such an important part of a carrousel ride, the Museum includes an exhibit on how the Music Box and roll paper worked. This is from the right side of the machine that punched holes in multiple rolls of paper (based on a master roll) to duplicate music rolls.
