United States Patent and Trademark Office Museum
By Marshall Price

A new exhibit at the United States Patent and Trademark Office
Museum features a Steinway piano in its announcements.  A call to
the museum revealed that the piano (which they call a "player piano")
is not an old reproducing piano, but a modern Steinway that runs on
CDs, demonstrating the link between patented technology and the arts.

I wonder whether it's worth a trip to Washington.
