Superbe accueil et le personnel est très sympa et compétent. Les 5000 pièces exposées viennent du monde entier, il y a également des bouts de roches de la lune et Mars que vous pouvez toucher. Quelques tiroirs réservés sont ouverts, mais dans tous les autres à raison de cent exemplaires par casier cela monte la collection à des milliers. Vraiment une belle visite.????

I really recommend to visit this little museum if you're interested in geology. They have so much minerals to see. Furthermore, theses are presented in old, beautiful, well lighted showcases. And the building has so much charme!

Le musée se trouve au sein de l’école des mines près du jardin du Luxembourg.
Sa collection est tout simplement magnifique et les explications sont bien complètes.
Il est assez petit mais on peut passer facilement plus d’une heure.

Un musée très intéressant pour adultes et enfants. On y respire une autre époque, celle des grandes découvertes du XIX siècle

Le petit Poucet n'osera plus jeter ces cailloux, explosion de couleurs et formes extraordinaires sculptées par la nature. Un lieu unique et merveilleux.
Comme quoi les pierres peuvent être précieuses, une cathédrale du savoir..
