That is SO Cool!

I studied Art (during the 1960’s) in the Basement of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. At that time, there was a room at the end of the corridor where we had our classes. In that room was a collection of antique musical instruments, some of which dated back to the middle Ages.

I was allowed to play some of them, as I was a student at the museum.

I had the unique thrill of playing my own compositions on a harpsichord that dated back to the time of Mozart.

I love the B’M’Fa, haven’t been there in years, but that story fills me with envy. :’) Naturally, I spent all my time (apart from a quick trip to the cafeteria, and I bought a slide and a book at the gift shop) wandering the Egyptian exhibits, and on in to the Greek and Roman areas. They really need to switch that around — after the spendid Egyptian collection they boast, the Greco-Roman stuff looks kinda sick.
