Minerals are everywhere. They form the our very foundation and are crucial raw materials for many of the products of our every day lives.
The natural processes occurring within the earth and on its surface continually break down minerals, giving rise to new forms and colors. This exhibition showcases a wide selection of these beautiful, valuable, rare, and distinctive objects from the museum's collection.
The exhibition offers insights into the systematics, properties, occurrences, and uses of minerals. A dedicated section of the exhibition focuses on Norway's geology, delving into specific historical Norwegian mines and geological specialties.
The display cases and interior of the exhibition have been preserved exactly as they were when the museum opened in 1920. The ambiance of the room remains intact, providing a classic setting for the exhibition.
