Pete,
A few of us saw this first hand on Thursday. The ROM has created a
wonderful new Mineral exhibit which was opened to the public on Saturday
and a few of us got the invite to see it before the public opening.
We were lucky to meet up with Greg Hupe who brought along 8 planetary
meteorites and so we were able to see NWA5000 along with Greg's other
gorgeous planetaries.
The ROM has created a new permanent mineral exhibit which is
outstanding. Part of the display is a large cabinet beautifully
organized with typical meteorites from the various classes. Nicely done
in a way to excite new comers to the world of meteorites. In front of
the display is are interactive monitors where visitors can see a picture
of the display. Touching the specific meteorite images brings up a
screen with close up shoots and detailed information. Very slick.
In a separate cabinet is the temporary display of NWA5000. Very very cool!
Definitely worth the trip to the ROM.
Cheers!
Mike Tettenborn

Greetings, all,
For my fellow Canadians and northwestern New Yorkers, the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto is featuring a great sounding meteorite display for the next few months, including Greg Hupe's NWA 5000. (Will that be the encased giant "slab", Greg?)
