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 shown on the process of molding.[1]

The expoitation of the museum cost the municipality 35,000 euro on a yearly base. As a result it was decided on 28 February 2013 to close the museum at the end of the year.[2] The year after the museum was obtained by the artisan and clock renovator Olivier Baudri that based its atelier there,[3] with the goal to reopen the museum in the future.[4]
