Regarding "Steampunk" -- I believe the folks at the Morris Museum are
using "Steampunk" and the collection of automatic musical instruments
as a way to attract a younger audience.  And we all know we need younger
audience members and museum goers to keep interest in the arts alive.

Say what you like (or dislike) about the term and the Steampunk movement
-- if it inspires ongoing interest in mechanical music, can that be a
bad thing?
