Hello BIMSters
A couple of wee bits of news from the frozen North today.
1. There will be a small exhibition in the National Museums Scotland next year from 5th October 2017 to 1st April 2018 commemorating the Centenary of the Strathmore Meteorite fall. Although there is nothing definite planned, we are hoping to have a little function/celebration/press event on the actual day of the Centenary (3rd December). It is our intention to gather together the four main fragments and have applied for loans to the Perth Museum and the Natural History Museum. I will post more about this as soon as information is available.
2. By way of a preview, BBC broadcast a one hour documentary (in Scotland only?) called Scotland's Treasures. A behind the scenes look at the NMS which included a short piece about the Strathmore and the Nakhla. You should be able to catch it on BBC iPlayer - I am not sure if it was broadcast throughout the whole UK - but catch it if you can.
Cheers
Peter Davidson
