Guinness Collection Receives $10M Endowment
By Ralph Schack

The Morris Museum in Morristown, New Jersey, has been getting a lot
of attention lately in the media for its beautiful new addition to house
and display the wonderful Murtogh Guinness collection of mechanical music.
Now it is getting a lot of cash, too, for maintaining the collection
in the future: $10 million of it.  An interesting story appeared in the
local Daily Record and can be read here:
