Sooo many amazing samples to check out and collections of collections! I spent a few hours looking at everything. I'm afraid I took too many pictures, but only after checking out the displays first. .
We toured the museum on our first trip to Golden. We were fascinated by the beautiful gems and minerals and the history of the area. We definitely want to return.
Super cute gift shop if you want to support but a small but well done museum full of rocks to views and new things to explore! Parking at a nearby garage and staff was helpful and full of knowledge.
