Frasse opened the museum together with his life partner Marianne in 1981 in the shared home on Peder Morcks vag in Simrishamn. In addition to gramophones and phonographs, many other musical machines were also added, such as music boxes and sonorous positive that Frasse and Marianne occasionally took out and performed in the streets and squares. The museum was open under Frasse and Marianne’s auspices until 2006. Just in time for Easter 2014, Frasses and Marianne’s Music Museum was reopened at Sweden’s car and motor museum Autoseum in Simrishamn .
