Advent with us!
Not in the mood to bake cookies? Then come and join us!
We've come up with something special for you for all four Sundays in Advent.
You can help us find a fairytale character. It has escaped from a fairy tale and stolen a piece of gold. If you find the figure and know which fairy tale it has escaped from, then you have earned a reward.
We look forward to seeing you and to your help!
In all colors and shapes!
COLORFUL - MORE COLORFUL - MOST COLORFUL
There is probably no color that we do not have - we have minerals in all colors of the rainbow. But we also have colorless minerals.
If you don't believe that, you have to come by! You can get a small foretaste here in the slideshow.
FROM SQUARE TO SPHERICAL
We not only have colors, but also shapes.
There are many minerals in our showcases that form real crystals. But minerals also come in the craziest shapes. There really is everything. You can get a small foretaste here in the slide show.
As always, we offer a special program on DIES. Admission is free on this day.
Details will follow soon!
We are preparing an Advent campaign in the museum - to increase the anticipation of the Christmas season a little and shorten the waiting time. More information will follow soon!
We are taking part in the rally, we just have to think of an exciting topic! More information here in any case!
You can also buy minerals from us - in our museum store. Perhaps you will find a gift for your family, siblings, friends or girlfriends here.
We have just received lots of new tumbled stones, necklaces and bracelets.
And: We spent two days making wonder bags! They are now available in the store again!
