The museum consists of a completely closed, opaque and abstract box.
Just the main facade has a concavity that marks the entrance of the building.
It houses a private collection of mechanical music boxes.
The organization is cruciform, around a central patio, that distributes to the buildings four sides.
In one side there is the lobby, that works as a vertical distribution space, and to the other sides are three galleries of varying sizes.
The transition between each of these four spaces is done through four antechambers.
The result is a box that seen outside looks very elementary, but whose interior dismantle this simplicity.
Exploring long diagonal perspectives that open as spaces are crossed - letting us see glimpses of galleries in a game of spatial seduction that seeks to maintain the curiosity of the visitor from the beginning to the end of the visit.
