Dear Members and Friends,

Today we are going to inform you on the exhibition at the Robertinum in Halle during the "Night of the Museums 2009".

preparing the exhibition

Even we ourselves were surprised about the result, please note, that we only had a short time to prepare the whole issue. The Robertinum provided a big room inside the house to present the items of our archive. Believe it or not: we could not show everything we have got. So we do not have to be afraid of opening a museum. If someone decides to offer a room or more, we will be able to show enough "stuff".

We had professional help of the staff of Robertinum, and we wish especially say thank to Dr. Stefan Lehmann and Henryk Löhr for their wonderful help.

we always had enough visitors

We were able to present things we had with us in showcases (vitrines), which were more than 100 years old and the old house - a museum itself - gave a unique brightness to our exhibition.

About 500 visitors came to look at the "Museum in Waiting". All had warm words for our plans.

Long after midnight we got all our things back to our archive.

Thanks to all, who helped in preparing the exhibition and to those who decided to loan items to us.
