Mineralogy museum
For this project we visited the Mineralogy Museum at the Sapienza Univeristy of Rome. The museum featured an impressive collection of many different types of minerals, rocks, and fossils found throughout the world. It provided an inside look into our planet’s history, the resources we use, the hazards and risks of its dynamic state, and new discoveries. Overall, I thought the museum was very interesting. There were several specimens that we were allowed to touch, as well as interactive exhibits. For example, there was a tablet next an elephant’s skeleton which allowed you to see what it looked like alive by holding the camera up to it. It also featured images of famous objects and monuments throughout the area and described the types of minerals that they were made of.

Sounds like a great museum. I look forward to talking to you more about this and the fossils you saw.
ReplyDeleteI love that they were also educating people on the state of the world and hazards!
ReplyDeleteI also liked the interactive elements of this museum. I especially liked the sandbox with the projection to represent terrain elevation.
