Has anyone compiled a worldwide list of museums featuring TCs and
other HV demos ? If not, how about maintaining a list at pupman-dot-com -
I'm sure if every list member submitted the places they knew of, we'd
already be pretty close to a full list.

(At the UK Teslathon last year someone told me they had a big TC at
Canberra - I was in Australia the month before and could have visited
if only I'd known!)
