Seek Information On Animated Globe Music Box
By Nádia Almeida

Dear MMD,  I am Nádia Almeida, a student at the University of Porto,
Portugal, studying for the Master's Degree in Museology.  For the
discipline of Study and Management of Collections, I am researching
a music box object in the inventory of the Romantic Museum located
in the city of Porto.

I write to very respectfully request information about a "music box"
which you published in the year 2004.  This object is very similar to
what I am researching, and little data exists.

In this context I would like to know about the origin, manufacturer
and more information such as the identification of the melodies played.
Any further information will be very important in this inventory work
for the Romantic Museum.

Thank you for your attention.
