List of Museums at Musica Mecanica
By Philippe Rouillé

In the organization of the archives of the MMD, may I suggest that the list of members would be linked with our respective introductions to the MMD.

To answer Jan Kijlstra's request about a list of museums:  on my web site Musica Mecanica is a list (in English, French and German) of

 = Mechanical Music Associations throughout the world (about 25 of them)

 = Museums throughout the world having an interest in mechanical music
   (almost 100, and I shall add shortly the Japanese and the American
    museums)

 = Some events to come (mainly in France, some in Europe)

I try to maintain the list as complete and as up-to-date as possible, thanks to the data I get from various associations (AAIMM, GSM, MBSI, etc.) and from my own research.  That is quite a lot of work, but I do it for fun (?) and mainly because I think it may be useful -- at least I hope so.  Otherwise, I shall go sailing (but not in the Roaring Forties).

 [ Is that the temperature or the name of your boat?  ;-)  -- Robbie

So, if you do not want to do the work again, you are always welcomed to establish a link with my pages.

You also have access to Musica Mecanica from the Home page of the Musee des Arts et Metiers :  http://www.cnam.fr/museum/ Then click on Musica Mecanica.

 [ Editors note:
 [
 [ There are several useful lists which are best maintained on a web site:
 [
 [   Museums & Societies & Events (Philippe Rouille)
 [   Piano Technicians (John A. Tuttle)
 [   Sources of Music: rolls, discs, etc. (Paul Johnson, Michael Waters)
 [   Sources of Materials
 [   Antique Stores
 [   Manufacturers of Instruments
 [
 [ We surely need more people to create and maintain lists like the above
 [ on their web sites.  Any volunteers?  (No pay, just satisfaction!)
