SREF Project

For the SREF project, we visited the Museum of Mineralogy on the University of Rome Campus. Although finding the entrance was confusing, the museum was really awesome. The museum housed numerous large crystals that we really beautiful. In the last room of the museum, there was a collection of rocks, minerals, and woods donated by Pope Leo XII in 1824. There were also examples of where these materials were used in ancient construction. I liked being able to see the connection between mineralogy and history.
