Natural History Museum, Vienna, Austria


Hello listees,

on November 11, 2010, a group of Austrian and German private meteorite 
collectors met at the renowned Natural History Museum in Vienna, Austria, 
for a joint visit of the famous meteorite collection there on display in 
hall V.

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:
