Mineralogy Museum
I chose the mineralogy museum for the SREF project. It is a part of a series of museums at the university of Rome called MUST. This stands for museo universitario Di scienze della terra. There were many cool things about this museum. They had a huge collection of meteorites including the biggest meteorite preserved in Italy. They also had many beautiful crystals that were giant! The educational side talked a lot about the different types of rock and land on the earth and the layers. They had a very cool interactive display where you moved sand around and a hologram changed with it showing the different layers by using color. It also included some fossils that were kept in rock and talked a little about the history of mineralogy and the famous people behind it. Overall it was a very I interesting museum.

That interactive display sounds neat
ReplyDeleteThat sounded fun. I would like to learn more about the people behind mineralogy some time. I could even apply this to the Platteville mines!
ReplyDeleteThis museum sounds very cool, I would like to see a picture of the biggest meteorite. The interactive part sounds great!
