Dear Sara,
there is another sundial
collection in Frankfurt which is worthwhile to visit.
I should recommend:
Museum für Kunsthandwerk
Schaumannkai 17
Here you will find the Bovius-Sundials from
1718 and 1721.
Is a new coloured foto avaible from your
Bovius-Sundial 1718, we talked about?
Kind regards
Klaus Eichholz
Dear Sara,
there are sundial collections in
Frankfurt and nearby in Darmstadt and Fulda which are worthwhile to visit. I
should recommend:
Historisches Museum Frankfurt (30 portable dial),
Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt (14 portable),
Stadtmuseum Fulda (11
portable).
Kind regards

Subject: sundials in the Frankfurt
region
Hi friends,
I am going to Frankfurt, Germany on business in
mid-February, and am
wondering if there are good collections of sundials
(portable or fixed) in
that neighborhood that I might visit, and
whom I should contact locally to
gain access to museum
collections.
I am also interested in medieval and early renaissance
mirrors, so if any
of you know of collections of those too, please let me
know!
Best regards,
Sara
