Many guests attended the opening ceremony in the entrance hall and the gallery in the first floor.

Managing director Nobert Kaufmann of Volksbank Siegerland gave his welcome to the more than 100 visitors of the opening ceremony and pointed out that our “space-exhibition” was shown to the public for the very first time.

With a Russian countdown and a lift- off explosion started our exhibition “Fly Me To The Moon” in the Volksbank-gallery. It was their and our contribution to the “day of state NRW” celebrated in our hometown of Siegen (17. – 19.9.2010).

The acoustic start signal after the welcome by Norbert Kaufmann (Volksbank Siegerland) and the introduction by Steven Thomsen (rock magazine Eclipsed) is part of the song “Hallo Erde, hier ist Alpha” (Hello Earth, here is Alpha calling) – a cult song in the former German Democratic Republic by Berluc – the band wrote the song to honour Siegmund Jähn who was the first German in space. We presented this  single and the Berluc-lp “Reise zu den Sternen” (Journey To The Stars) in one of about 100 decorative frames and added about 200 more collector’s items in show cases.
