Dear fellow collectors,

by chance I found that the Hungarian Natural History Museum has
a searchable database of their meteorite collection online, and I
thought that others might be interested in that. The URL is:

  http://www.nhmus.hu/kutatas/adatbazisok/meteorit/index_a.html

You can search for meteorites, and display the details (weight,
size, description, etc.) of the specimens in their collection.
For a number of specimens, there are even images available, like
these:

Knyahinya, 1310g individual:

Mocs, 2235g oriented individual:

Gross-Divina, stunning 9910g oriented individual:

Minnichhof, 462.6g main mass of this rare Austrian meteorite. (I
was actually serching for more information on that when I found
this page):

Hope you like the images or maybe you find the database of some
interest...

  Best greetings,
