Just visited the Les Paul Exhibit (Museum) in Milwaukee, WI.

Hi all,

I would love to share with you the 30 or so pictures I took from the Les Paul Exhibit at the Science Museum in Milwaukee, WI where I
was making a presentation at a GIS Conference.

As you may know, Milwaukee is Les Paul's birthplace and hometown.
All his guitars and recording units, amps and different electronic gears and echoes including the prototypes where exposed.
Very impressive exhibit especially for fans of his style and guitars.

Hi Jim (Nugent),
If you are ready this post, I wonder if there is a place (web site or else) where I could send them to you so that you can organize them and post
them for everyone's benefit.

Thank you.

Blessings,
Abel

Hi, Abel.

Was this in Waukesha?

It's still on my "must visit" list!

I will send you a message with my current email address.

Hi Jim,

Hi Jim,

You are right, Waukesha is actually Les Paul real birth place, and they do have his famous "Log exhibit" in the County Museum,
but the Les Paul Exhibit at the Discovery World in Milwaukee has most of his electronic belonging including the Log.

Here is what I found for Waukesha

I will send you the 108 pictures I took.

Blessings,
