The MUME operates within Klavierhaus, a piano atelier in Clinton (Hell's Kitchen) Manhattan.
It's got a little bit of everything so you can [think inside the box].
With our livestreaming and recording infrastructure, any activity can be done with virtual participants!
NOTE: NO NOISE AFTER 10PM (strictly enforced)
You can still hang out but no music or amplified sound after 10pm
(Klavierhaus is located underneath a residential complex)
The main room has four columns that can restrict visibility depending on the activity, but we do the best we can.
The secondary room is mainly the office and workshop but can be used as a larger alternative to the green room.
