A small museum focused on the meteors that fell on this region in 2000ac. 6 big meteors (including the second & 3rd largest in the world) are display, plus a large collection of smaller ones.

Short good film with subtitles in English at the end.
Also, it's a beautiful land with a small obs tower, camping space, tables and BBQ, and lovely dogs.
