Never knew about it, and it's in Brooklyn, too.  I've driven within two 
blocks of it dozens and dozens of times.  It's just a few minutes away 
from Brooklyn College where Leah went.

But tell me, is it worth the $20 "donation"?  Will I see and hear things 
that are that amazing??  Actually, looking on the website it does seem 
interesting.

The audio on this site is from the Austrian recordings with a modern 
stereo orchestra in case you do not have any of  the three CDs and have 
been wondering what they sound like.  I happen to like them and just 
bought the one I was missing.

There also is an article from April about the museum seeking a new 
home.  It's not in danger of closing, it needs MORE SPACE.  (Don't we 
all!!)
