Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Mineralogical museum near Neskuchny Garden, Moscow, Russia.
The Fersman Mineralogical Museum is a collection of minerals, rocks, and meteorites from around the world. The exhibits display specimens from different continents and document the mineral diversity found across Earth.
The collection dates back to the early 1700s, when a Russian ruler began acquiring minerals for study. Over centuries, the collection grew through scientific expeditions and international exchanges.
The museum is named after a prominent mineralogist whose work shaped modern understanding of Earth's resources. Visitors can observe how mineral science remains central to how we comprehend geological processes today.
The museum is located near a park and is accessible by public transportation. Visitors should plan time to explore the large collection at a comfortable pace.
Much of the collection was gathered through fieldwork in remote regions of Russia. These expeditions made it possible to document rare and unusual mineral deposits that are otherwise difficult to observe.
