[meteorite-list] Something a bit different

[Peter Davidson]

Hello Friends

The following link will take you to a report of a very interesting exhibition by the Scottish artist Katie Paterson. She has made a mould, melted and recast a piece of the Campo del Cielo meteorite. It is part of the "Art Olympiad" which takes lace during London 2012.

If anyone is in London, do go along and see it and tell us what you think.
