So, I wondered if Juergen Kempf got a web page or not; I tried my luck
and entered "Liisa Kempf" into Yahoo search engine and sure enough,
their web page came up: http://www.huvipuisto.net/museo/
The guy that is dressed up like the Statue Of Liberty in one of their
pictures, that's Juergen! :-)

[ I wish I could read the Finnish text; maybe someday English and/or
[ German text will be added. :-)

[ I followed the link and found a short description in English at
[ http://www.varkaus.fi/matkailu/tietoa/english/nahtavyydet.htm
[ and http://www.varkaus.fi/matkailu/tietoa/english/mmuseo.htm :
[
[ "Charming, simplified, functional style stone house surrounded by
[ a beautiful park area. The 'museum' is unique in Finland. Inside
[ it are some of the most interesting and funniest instruments such as
[ automatic pianos, amazing mechanical music boxes, a whining player
[ violin, very many gramophones, the 75-man Popper Goliath -- the
[ world's largest orchestrion -- etc. All of these are presented in
[ a humorous way during one hour tour which flies by very quickly."
