Mekaanisen Musiikin Museo in Varkaus, Finland
By Ingmar Krause

[ Ref.: "Mechanical Music in Finland" by Christian Greinacher,
 [ in 020715 MMDigest and http://mmd.foxtail.com/Pictures/

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!  :-)

greetings by(e) A_InK -- Ingmar Krause

 [ 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."
