Hillman Hall of Minerals and Gems, Mineralogy exhibition at Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, United States.
The Hillman Hall displays more than 1,300 mineral and gem specimens from worldwide locations in specialized illuminated cases across multiple galleries.
The collection began in 1896 with 550 specimens from Professor Gustave Guttenberg, followed by Andrew Carnegie's acquisition of 12,000 specimens in 1904.
The Pennsylvania Minerals section presents regional specimens that reflect the state's mining heritage and geological diversity through numerous local formations.
