About

The Bell and Carillon Museum (French: Musée de la Cloche et du Carillon; Dutch: Clock and Carillon Museum) was a museum from 1992 to 2013 in Tellin in the Belgian Ardennes. The museum was established in a bell foundry that was in service between 1830 and 1970. Beside bells and carillons it showed other objects, like weather-vanes that had been on church towers. There was also a documentary film showing on the process of molding. The exploitation of the museum cost the municipality 35,000 euros on a year base. As a result it was decided on 28 February 2013 to close the museum at the end of the year.
