The museum has an extensive collection of hand tools, technical manuals and trade catalogues.

The MOT studies the history of techniques, more specifically natural power.

The subject is limited to what is driven by muscle, water or wind power.

The main building of the MOT is the Guldendal, situated in the shadow of the ruins of the Prinsenkasteel (Prince’s Castle).

The MOT aims to encourage an understanding of the past and present of mankind, here and elsewhere, by giving a realistic picture of the origin and evolution of techniques and their impact of everyday life and the environment.
