OK - as I already have a few museums listed on my site, I'll organise
it myself. 
Any list members that know of any museums featuring HV/TC demos, or
with other items of interest to TC/HV people, please email me and I'll
add them to the museum section of my links page at
www.electricstuff.co.uk

Please include any relevent info - website if known, exact name of
museum (so I can look for more info on web), country/town and exhibits
of interest. 
Also if anyone knows of anywhere that used to have HV demos but no
longer does, let me know.
