Wonders of the Solar System

Jan 2010
17

Last year I have been to the exhibition at the Gasometer in Oberhausen. Seems to me and my wife that ‘gasometer’ is a British word which is used for large gas holders or gas tanks. The Gasometer in Oberhausen is no longer used as a gas tank but as an exhibition hall. Starting in 2009 the exhibition runs through this year – the year of the Ruhr being the Cultural Capital of Europe – the exhibition will end on December 30th.

At the desk inside the gasometer, there is a big poster advertising the audio guides. It is also available in English language.  That’s the message for today.

The exhibition is really good. The large model of the moon installed inside is very impressive. The explainations next to the objects are good and as far as we remember some are in English as well. “Out of this World – Wonders of the Solar System” is worth a visit. A good suggestion for the next visit of my in-laws.
