About the Natural History Museum, Vienna:

It is the policy of the NHM to allow visitors to photograph the exhibits, but only for personal use. Pictures cannot be used for commercial purposes without written permission. Happily, the MPOD is in the personal use category.

Dr. Ludovic Ferriere is the Curator of the Meteorite Collection (since November 2018) and also the Curator of the Impactite Collection (since September 2019).

The museum is forbidden by law to sell any part of the collection and they have ceased trading, so they are dependent on donations of material and money to expand the collection. For more information:



Paul writes:
I visited the Vienna Natural History Museum (NHM) in May of 2014. The NHM has the largest meteorite display in the world.

The Meteorite Hall has been completely revamped and provides a stunning experience. In conjunction with the re-opening of the Hall, the NHM published a book about its meteorite collection. Naturally, it has lots of first-rate photos. Check it out here.

I can imagine it John...but will have to settle for the great photo of this unique meteorite. I still don't have a piece after all these years. Steinbach is on my List of special meteorites to have one day.
