BODE MUSEUM NUMISMATIC DISPLAY

  Arthur Shippee forwarded a very short item from The New
  York Times about a new numismatic display in Berlin:

  "After six years and $6.9 million in renovations, the coin collection

  of the Bode Museum will be redisplayed today on Berlin's historic
  Museum Island. More than 500,000 coins, from Greece in 600
  B.C. to the present, will be on view. The entire renovation of the
  Bode Museum, with its sculpture collection, Byzantine art and
  children's gallery, is scheduled for completion by 2006 at an
  estimated cost of $131 million.

  Another note on the same subject came from Chris Hoelzle of
  Laguna Niguel, CA.  He writes: "My wife who is always looking
  out for me on topics of coins and numismatic literature spotted the
  following short article in the Los Angeles Times Travel section -
  from the Associated Press:

 "The coin collection of the Bodemuseum will reopen to the public
  after a six-year, $6.9-million renovation, giving visitors a look at
  "Germany's greatest treasure chest of old money," said city
  museum director Peter Klaus Schuster. The collection includes
  Greek Coins from 600 BC."

  I found the following website which announces the opening (in
 German)"
