Re: Mechanical Musical Instruments Museum in Paris
By Philippe Rouillé
There is, alas, no more Mechanical Music Museum in Paris. It was closed and sold to foreign collectors 2 years ago. There are several interesting MM instruments in public collections in Paris, but the corresponding museums are now closed for renovation. So, for the moment, you have to go several hundred miles away from Paris to see mechanical Music (in Les Gets, in Savoie near Geneva, for example, or in the new museum in Mirecourt, Lorraine).
For a complete listing of MM museums in France (and in Europe too), you may have a look at my Web pages (which are mentioned in the Mechanical Music Digest web page as "Philippe Rouille's site"):
http://www.cnam.fr/museum/musica-mecanica/musica-index.html
This address will change within a few days, "musica-mecanica" being replaced by "musica_mecanica". (Such are the arcanes of the Internet).
You may always go to this server through the server of the CNAM museum and then click on Musica Mecanica :
http://www.cnam.fr/museum/
If any problem, please e-mail to me.
