Is the Eichstatt Museum open?

[jpc]

Hello fossil friends in Germany-

 

A few months ago I started planning a History of Paleontology class/trip which will include the Solnhofen area.  Before Christmas, the Eichstatt Wiilibaldburg Castle museum was closed.  Now I do not see anything on the web site, which is all auf Deutsch about it being closed.  Is it actually re-opened?

 

Thanks

I recommend Bürgermeister-Müller musem as well.  If you go, say hello to Wolfgang Mages and Dr. Röper für mich.

Thanks guys.  The web site led me to believe it was open, but it had nothing (that I could see with my anglohone eyes) That said We Are Open Again.  

 

And, yes, the Burgermeister Museum is on the list as well.  

 

 I have been in email contact with Wolfgang.  I sent you a PM.

Dont forget that there are two Museums in Eichstätt:

 

The Jura-Museum and also the Bergér Museum.

Unfortunately Bergér Museum is only open during summer, normally starting around April. 

 

And don't forget Dinopark Altmühltahl, not far away from Solnhofen.

And while you're here: Check out the Paleontology Museum in Munich

@jpc There's a new exhibition at the Burgermeister-Müller-Museum which should catch your eyes as well as the normal fossils.
