Mechanical Music Museums in Italy
By Johan Liljencrants

As Mike Kitner told in 2000.07.08.01 MMD, the Museo di Strumenti
Musicali Meccanici in Savio, 25 km outside Ravenna, is closed.

It is listed in http://home.kabelfoon.nl/~havo/en_idx2.htm and in
http://www.cnam.fr/museum/musica_mecanica/a/musee/italie/index.html

Recently I happened to pass by Ravenna, and since the local tourist
information office posted its location and open times, and were helpful
to instruct on the route, I ventured to go there anyway, only to find a
handwritten note on its dusty door telling that you could make
appointments for groups of at least 10 persons.

People in the nearby restaurant testified that it is a very nice
collection, and deeply deplored its inaccessibility  -- it is not
always easy to run a private museum.
