Errr... (*G*) Sallam, it's Sindelfingen, and a suburb of Stuttgart
(Please never tell this to one of the locals, they still belive to
live in a city of their own :) - this may help to locate it a bit
better for some members.
Still, the Museum is woth more than one visit ... but it's only
open every thursday afternoon from 14:00 to 17:00 - and only on
an apointment base.
Gruss
