Rieskrater-Museum

The Ries Crater Museum in Nördlingen provides an overview of the formation of impact craters. A special theme of the museum, which is located in a renovated barn from the 16th century, is the origin of the Ries Ries by the event. The topic is very clear through numerous exhibits (including a 165 g heavy piece of moon rock, which the astronauts of the Apollo 16 mission in 1972 to the earth brought ), display boards, various meteorite pieces ( including the meteorite fragment Neuschwanstein I), a multilingual multimedia show and Videos processed. Attached to the museum is also an information center of the Geopark Ries, which is to make the geological heritage more than ever before to the public.
