Re: Plans to Visit USA: Collections to See
By Gloria Schack

The Musical Box Society International (MBSI) has a wonderful museum exhibit
featuring cylinder and disc music boxes, a reproducing grand piano, and a few
other pieces of interest.    It is housed in a large historic mansion on the
second floor, and is roughly  1 or 1-1/2 hours north of New York City by car.

Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum¶
295 West Avenue; Norwalk, Connecticut¶
Phone:  203 838 1434

VERY IMPORTANT:    BE SURE TO PHONE BEFORE YOUR VISIT TO MAKE SURE THE MUSEUM
WILL BE OPEN, and to get directions.

The museum is closed during the winter months, but re-opens March 1.  Hours are
T-F 11-2; Sunday 1-3.  The best time to see the musical boxes is on Sunday when
our own MBSI members are on duty and will play the music boxes for you.
