We had the great pleasure to attend a guided tour led by the curator of the collection, Dr. Franz Brandstaetter, especially arranged for our group of meteorite enthusiasts a few weeks in advance. The tour of hall V was very instructive, both regarding the history of the meteorite collection as a whole and the very special history of some selected meteorites, like e. g. Hraschina or Ybbsitz, just to name two of many specimen that Dr. Brandstaetter had individual stories to tell about. My fellow countryman and collector friend Heiner Thiel, who was part of our group, made a movie on this occasion, which he just uploaded to YouTube for your viewing pleasure. As he can not post to the list at the moment, he asked me to post the info for him. The film caught quite a bit of the great "atmosphere" of this gorgeous exhibition place. Well, folks, have a look – and enjoy: Part one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNV4CMsm3Xc Part two http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMkP_xjaJnE Best, Alex Berlin/Germany ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
