The Sanfilippo Foundation Is Proud to present the "Place de la Musique"![]() The Sanfilippo Foundation Booklet - For the first time, we are making the Sanfilippo Foundation's booklet available online in pdf format (pdf). This 38-page booklet describes in detail how Jasper Sanfilippo's Estate and Collection came to be. It showcases not only the Sanfilippo house and Carousel Pavilion, but the various types of automatic music instruments in the Collection with beautiful photography and interesting facts. With many, large-format photographs, and detailed photograph inserts, you'll experience American and European orchestrions, Edison and Victrola phonographs, music boxes and pinned cylinders, the Wurlitzer Theater organ, and the items in the pavilion, including the 1890 carousel. Sections on the steam engine gallery, the monumental clock tower, train cars, as well as the mission of the Sanfilippo Foundation are also highlighted. We are asking for a $10 (minimum) donation to obtain the pdf file for viewing on your home computer, laptop, tablet, or phone. The proceeds benefit the continued work of the Sanfilippo Foundation, which assists charities that serve Children & Families, Health & Human Services, and Arts & Culture. Upon donating, you'll receive an email from our credit card processor, PayPal, as your receipt. Then the Foundation will send you a separate email with the pdf document attached. Enjoy!
