Modern Germany has been known for its affinity for techno. As the wall was coming down and communism receded from Eastern Europe, Berliners were united after 24 years of separation and techno helped spur this along. Now the country is getting its own techno museum in Frankfurt. Industrial DJ Andreas Tomalla, known professionally as TALLA 2XLC, is setting up the new cultural center dubbed The Museum of Modern Electronic Music (MOMEM). Tomalia is often credited with inventing the word techno, though the sound came from the Belleville Three (Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson and Juan Atkins) and helped start some of the first parties in city during the 1980s. He hopes to open the museum doors in 2017 on the premises of the city's Childrens Museum and is only using private funding.
