IF it opens, it will probably be sooner - on paper they have a free
lease of the former "Kindermuseum" premises from the city, but the rooms
are in a rubble and need rebuilding after being vacant for years. Right
now they are stuck in a hen-and-egg situation, the city authorities
demanding a sponsored capital of 1/4 million € signed over to the museum
before the city will invest half a million into decorating the city
owned premises, while the sponsors don't want to commit themselves until
the rooms are a reality.

It probably will not have much to do with electronic instruments, at
least to start with. As of now, their collection is limited to donations
of wardrobes, flyers, keepsakes from club interiors and similar personal
belongings by Frankfurt artists and clubs - the first exhibition they
wanted to sign into the rooms was to have come from Paris.
