The Collection at present (April 1889) contains about 14,600numbers. As it is now greatly in want of more room, it is proposedto erect a new, separate building.

The Museum is open to the public on Sundays, Mondays and Fridaysfrom 12—2. The old Viking-ships, the property of the Museum, auniversitymuseum00univrich
