SPECIAL EXHIBITION (Sapphire Room, entrance from Diamond Room)
A TOUCH OF COSMOS is an unforgettable journey through the Solar System with the oldest rocks - meteorites - that we can hold in our hand. We will see the whole spectrum of their diversity - from the most primordial carbonaceous chondrites to the original meteorites from Mars and the Moon.

NOTE: The Ribbeck meteorite, which fell to Earth in January 2024, will be on display, meaning that it was still drifting in COSMOS not long ago!
