In the meantime a new museum is due to be completed by Sept. 2012 at a cost of 12 million Euros, donated by local businessman and philanthropist Giovanni Arvedi, owner of the steelworks just outside Cremona.
The following link explains about the building of the new complex which will also house a new auditorium. It is in English as well as Italian!:bleed ht:

MDV | Museo del Violino | Cremona
Hope some of you will eventually come to visit Cremona, it may be off the beaten track but that's where you will find the essence of Italy.

I will be delighted to be your local guide and show you Italy as it really is.
