Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) – After the fire in Frankfurt’s Senckenberg Natural History Museum, the house is expected to reopen to visitors on Friday. Repairs still need to be made, a spokeswoman said on Tuesday. This includes the power supply. No one was injured in the fire on Saturday night, the police assume a technical defect.
The fire broke out in a windowless adjoining room with no exhibits in the electrical distribution. “Everything that needs to be repaired is behind the scenes,” said Director Brigitte Franzen of the German Press Agency. The fire brigade was there extremely quickly. “We were lucky in misfortune.”
The museum in Frankfurt is one of the largest natural history museums in Germany and is known, among other things, for its huge dinosaur skeletons.
