[meteorite-list] Visit to the Meteorite Collection of the famous Natural History Museum, Vienna, Austria

[Count Deiro]

Hello Alex...and List,

It was very gracious of you, Alex, to see that we, so far from Wien, were able to see the incredible collection. Your friend, Heiner Thiel, is an excellent cinematographer and his video made me feel as if I were there as a part of the group. The sound was perfect and I could understand Dr. Brandstaetter's explanations and humourous stories. He is quite a funny character.

It is posts on the List like this that are the presents one gets to open on many days...just like Christmas.

Alles gut mit dich!

>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:
