Small but spectacular collection of 600+ mineral and crystal specimens—great for close‑ups of color, texture and translucency. Visit weekday mornings to avoid crowds and ask staff about photography rules; check hours before traveling. Parking available across Carrier Dr (mix of free and paid spots). Interior lighting is mixed—ideal for controlled exposures and backlit translucency shots. Accessible museum with staffed desk for questions.
