via Brian Kehew of The Moog Cookbook on the new Moogseum:"So - the announcement was made of the first museum show from the Bob Moog Foundation Archive. This is the stuff we've been sorting and cataloging over the last many months. It will be at NAMM's own museum, a perfect place, as NAMM's about making music and the instrument industry. Michelle Moog-Koussa has arranged to release the first pieces from the Archive to be seen in public; a tiny fraction of stuff was in this case at NAMM. Prototypes and production models of Bob's designs, tape masters and copies, photos, schematics, his daily notebooks; lots more will be coming. In some ways, it will be a perfect preview of the proposed Moogseum plans that were unveiled at the NAMM show as well...
The show begins in September, I know they will be having opening celebrations and almost certainly hosting concerts/talks relating to Moog history and Bob's life throughout the run of the exhibit. It should be pretty popular. Much of it will be geared to the teaching of the history and relevance of the Moog story - as they have over 100,000 students a year come through.I know they are interested in loans of instruments than can be shown during this museum exhibit. I have already arranged for some of the main designs to be loaned, but I know they are currently lacking an original R.A.Moog theremin, certainly an important featured item. If anyone has one to loan - please contact the Moog Foundation Archive.... Other items to loan or donate would probably also be welcome, if you have anything special (signs, photos, etc). It's already an astounding collection of stuff if you're into Electronic Music; and fantastic that it's finally going to see the light of day."
