The RiesCraterMuseum goes to school!

On the initiative of the RiesCraterMuseum, a display case was set up in the Theodor-Heuss-Gymnasium Nördlingen with objects showing original meteorites, impact rocks, fossils from Lake Riesse and archaeological artifacts.

The showcase is designed as a permanent exhibition in the school. The aim is to use the authenticity of the original objects to arouse curiosity about the nature of these stones and their natural history, without the time pressure of organized museum tours. The website of the RiesCraterMuseum can be accessed quickly using the attached QR code to find out more about the objects, plan a visit to the museum or contact the museum staff. The location of the permanent exhibition in the school also makes it possible to have the exhibits available on site as illustrative material and tangible objects for geography, physics, chemistry and biology lessons.
