The Cuckooland Museum would like to welcome you
to be astonished at the variety, quality and ingenuity associated with
the ancient craft of cuckoo clock making. The museum’s collection
is regarded as the most important of its type in Britain, Europe and the
rest of the world.
The collection has been brought together by brothers
Roman and Maz Piekarski who, as foremost horologists and clock restorers,
have sought and renovated the rarest and most notable examples over careers
of thirty years.

It became apparent to them that an important part of European clock making
history was liable to disappear if surviving examples fell into irretrievable
disrepair.

Many of the early pieces that came before them
were beyond restoration, and it became their task to seek and make good
as many examples of the 300 year old craft as possible.
Their researches have taken them worldwide to bring to you the Collection
exhibited here, and they have dedicated the rest of their working lives
towards improving and completing the collection.
