News from the Morris Museum:

200+ VIP's, members and guests attended the opening reception at Morris 
Museum (Morristown, NJ) for the 2nd in the contemporary kinetic art 
series: "A Cache of Kinetic Art: Simply Steampunk".  Inspiration for 
creating this new exhibit series originated from the Murtogh D. Guinness 
Collection of Automatic Musical Instruments & Automata, via curator 
Michele Marinelli and conservator Jere Ryder.

'State of the Arts' TV film crew were present, interviewing artists, 
curator's and guests last Thursday evening, with broadcast planned for 
the near future.  See links below for post and print media that has 
already come out and looking forward to more in-print via NJ Monthly, 
Design New Jersey and others in the next couple months.
