Must…visit…Sinsheim
The Auto & Technik Museum Sinsheim, in Germany, was already on my list of places to visit due to the combination of a Concorde (hey, plenty of museums got one after service ended, but it’s still one I haven’t seen yet), the Soviet Tu-144 (not so easy to find in museums), and various other neat things.
Now they’ve gone one step further.
They’re getting the remaining Soviet “Buran” shuttle (article in German). Sadly, this is not the one that actually flew in space (that one was destroyed in a hangar collapse). I don’t know how long it’ll take for them to get it to Sinsheim and put it on display, but…dang, I really want to go visit once it’s done.
(First noticed at BoingBoing, but that was just a pointer to a picture gallery. I guessed it was Sinsheim, and was able to find the full Der Speigel article with a little searching.)
