The Murtogh D. Guinness Collection: A huge collection of music boxes. The articles about the objects include a description, sound files and a movie of the beastie in action. Quote: "The Murtogh D. Guinness Collection reflects the passion of its namesake for preserving and sharing the joys of antique mechanical musical instruments and automata. Murtogh D. Guinness (1913-2002) regarded the collection as his life’s work, and he persistently traveled the globe to search for the finest surviving instruments of their kind. He lived day-to-day with these devices, studying and refining for over 50 years what became a collection of nearly 700 pieces." (via DaddyD) Link
