Way cool!!!!! This is fantastic!!! All good luck for the opening, and I can't wait to see this book.
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful! I hope there will be strong attendance.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Is it strange to see machines you actually use behind glass?
ReplyDeleteThank you Georg, Richard and Dwayne for your kind comments.
ReplyDeleteYes, Dwayne, it is strange. I kept wanting to reach in and touch a spacebar and centre a carriage or pick up a speck of dust. They somehow look smaller behind glass, I hadn't imagined that the curators would be able to pack so many in and yet still much it look reasonably spacious.
Richard, the signs are good, lots of publicity and people already tapping on glass and peering through the doorway wanting to get in. True!
Georg, I've put aside a book for you. Also Richard, a copy is on its way.
Hat's of to you Rob. That's looking fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be great!
It looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What an honor. I wish I were in Australia to attend the opening. It looks wonderful! Everything is so clean and shiny. If only I could get my wife to approve of a few custom glass shelves and a very shiny wooden floor...
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful collection. Thank you for sharing the exhibition. It looks fantastic. I wish I could visit just to see all those wonderful looking machines. I'll be in Iowa.
ReplyDeleteWow!!! How much are airplane tix to Canberra from Los Angeles, CA???
ReplyDeleteRobert, thank you for giving us a glimpse into what promises to be a fantastic exhibition!
ReplyDeleteThe typewriters, already impressive when shown individually, are truly stunning when displayed behind glass in a large group.
Quite an amazing display. Don't you wish you could do this at your home? I'm pretty sure we all do!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with everything. I hope the turnout is wonderful and, in turn, you receive many more typewriters from fans and those that appreciate your collection. You've earned it!
Oh wow!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! I love the set up!
I'm a bit sore that I won't be able to come down for it, so I'll just have to enjoy your pictures...
Here's wishing you all the awesomenesses of lucks from the other end of Australia,
Nat :)
