Monnig Meteorite Gallery
Great! You’ve decided to come visit us. We have so much to show you.
We typically need at least two weeks notice for any tour and we ask that you provide at least three options for date and time, if possible. Please note, tours usually take place when the Gallery is closed to the public (between 9am-1pm on weekdays).

When Oscar Monnig died in 1999, a considerable amount of money was given to the Geology Department at TCU from his estate with the purpose of maintaining the collection. On Saturday, February 1, 2003, the Oscar Monnig Meteorite Gallery was opened for the public. With about 10% of the best meteorites in the collection on display, this is a world class facility. The gallery is located in the Sid Richardson Science Building on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth.
