An excellent report. Good photos, and nice and very valuable specimens.
Thank you for your effort.

Thank you for your great reportages about the Marburg Museum.
BTW, searching in the Forum I wrote the word "Marburg" and I found several threads started for you about this Museum, so I supposed that it could better if I unify all these different threads in one single thread named: "Mineralogical Museum of Marburg" where everybody could have a more complete vision, instead several separate visions.
What do you think Tobias?
|
If you want to unify them, don't hesitate - you're the boss ;-) No, really: Why not? Most of them had several topics, but one large thread would not be wrong i think ...
|
I inspected the threads related with the Marburg Museum and it looks to me that it don't will appear coherent if I unify all them.
I have something in mind about to group in separate single threads all posts published in FMF related with the different Museums, let's see...

Thanks to all who like that humble report that much!
Jordi, I agree: The threads would not appear coherent if they'd be unified. But an idea for not making too much mess with the Marburg Museum threads: If i take more pictures and publish them here (i hope it will be within 2012), i will use this thread. This would also be coherent with the thread name "2012 impressions" :-)

Well, if you want to have the giant Neudorf galena, just contact the Museum of Mineralogy and Geology in Dresden that gave this specimen on loan. It only depens on how much you can afford. Maybe 100.000 could be a good first offer ... ;-)

Good news for all who enjoyed my report: I took another trip today (it is really an advantage to live only 10-15 minutes away from one of Germany's most prominent mineral museums) and took more photos. Here we go:
