Who owns Beethoven's original piano, and can it be viewed?

Let me add to the already great answer that there is a recording of Andras Schiff playing the Broadwood. This is a recording that every Beethoven enthusiast should own because it sheds great light on the sounds of the day. Even though Beethoven couldn't really hear it, the top is so beautiful and expressive, not cold and stony as so many modern pianos are.
