The Galerie de minéralogie et de géologie of the Natural History Museum has finally reopened its doors, after 10 years being closed. To celebrate, it presents an exhibition entitled “Trésors de la Terre” (“Treasures of the Earth”), which showcases the new design of the so-called “giant crystals” room. This retrospective also comes back on the development of the mineral world, especially on its diversity of shapes and colours, and on what men and women use it for. A magical place to (re)discover with your family.
