The EGU Executive Office is housed in one of the buildings of the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences of the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, Germany. The building also hosts the Palaeontological Museum Munich, the public part of the Bavarian State Collection for Palaeontology and Geology, which is dedicated to the history of life and the Earth, and displays fossils from all eras of the planet’s history.

Edvard Glücksman, the new EGU Science Communications Fellow, likes to access the building using the entry on Richard-Wagner-Straße, which gives direct access to the Museum. Yesterday, he decided to photograph what he sees every morning:

Edvard took this picture using the Photosynth app on his iPhone, which allows you to stitch together various photos into a panorama. Check out the 3D interactive version on the app’s website!
