WELCOME TO THE MUSEUM'S LOBBY 

ATTENTION, the menu has been modified - The exhibits are allocated to ten* different categories depending on their function. To visit a specialised department, just click on the picture of the relevant category below. You can also use the button COMPASS TYPES of the pull-down menu. Clicking on the button SEARCH will lead you to the instruments via the manufacturers' names or technical words (example: miner's compass). The chapter MISCELLANEOUS has been divided into five different parts. It is recommended to approach the buttons from the left.
* The pin-on compasses are displayed together with the wrist compasses because of their very limited occcurrence.
