Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals
Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals, Natural history museum in Washington County, United States
The museum displays over 20,000 geological specimens, including crystals, fossils, meteorites, petrified wood, and fluorescent minerals in a 7,500-square-foot building.
Richard and Helen Rice started their rock collection in 1938 after finding agates on the Oregon Coast, leading to the construction of their display home in 1952.
The museum participates in the Blue Star Museum program, providing free admission to military personnel and their families during summer months.
Admission fees range from free for children under 5 to 18 dollars for adults, with discounts for veterans, educators, seniors, and students.
The Rainbow Gallery contains minerals that illuminate in darkness due to their phosphorescent and fluorescent properties.
