Step right up folks . . .
Take your time. Look at everything once, even twice, but remember there are others behind you who also want to see . . . and, if you behave yourself and pay attention, you'll get a glimpse of what old Blackburne might have called "a little Morphy."
The first stop on our little tour in the Trophy Room containing Morphy's testimonial watch, his board and pieces, also a testimonial gift, as well as the engraved silver salver and tray from the American Chess Congress and a lot of fancy words.
To your left you'll notice a display of Morphy's Architectural Connections- places he lived and went to school.
And finally to your immediate right, you can see how Music played an important part of Morphy's live, though he was never a musician himself.
Last, but certainly not least, is the Game Room, holding all Morphy's games tediously referenced and historically annotated where appropriate.
Goodnight everyone. Hurry back.
Please pay the young lady as you exit.
