Paul Broste Rock Museum, Rock and mineral museum in Parshall, United States
The Paul Broste Rock Museum displays thousands of rock specimens inside a building constructed from natural granite quarried from the surrounding region of North Dakota.
Local farmer Paul Broste established the museum in 1966 after collecting rocks since the 1920s, transforming his personal collection into a public institution.
The museum contains Native American artifacts, including framed arrowheads, alongside geological specimens that represent both natural science and artistic expression.
The museum opens Wednesday through Saturday from May to September, with year-round visits available by appointment at an admission price of 5 dollars.
The Infinity Room features 231 spheres mounted on metal stands with mirrored walls creating reflections that represent cosmic space.
