[ Rather than put everything in one huge MM Digest, Philippe will
 [ periodically send portions of his list separately to MMD, and
 [ thus will have the chance to gather updates from our readers
 [ and 'museum explorers' around the world.  Note: I had to
 [ delete a little text here and there which had special characters
 [ from French and German.  There's no change to the meaning, but
 [ if there is any uncertainty please view the Musica Mechanica
 [ web site to see all three languages !  -- Robbie

Dear MMDs,  For those who do not have access to the Web (or are too
lazy to wait for the pages to appear), I begin to send to the MMD the
listing of associations and museums as it appears on my pages Musica
Mecanica (27 associations and nearly 200 museums throughout the world
for the moment).

    http://www.cnam.fr/museum/musica_mecanica/

We begin today with the Associations and Museums in Great Britain.

Please send me by e-mail (suppress the '.nospam' from the e-mail above)
any corrections or additions and please mention Musica Mecanica and its
web address if you use this listing elsewhere.
