[Nhcoll-l] Sprinklers in wet collections

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear Gali,

with rebuilding of the wet collections in Berlin & moving to a new 
building, fire protection measures have been updated. Fire-extinguishing 
systems work with carbondioxid. For details it might be worth to contact 
the Museum in Berlin

All the best
