mineral museum of michigan印象

This museum is very nicely put together. They have many specimens and interesting signage. Don't miss the room in the back with all the glow-in-the dark stuff and a little video.

The extensive display of minerals is beautiful. The information given is informative and worthwhile. I found a discovery about Michigan that I did not really know about and was pleased to learn.
-
Incredible selection of rocks from local sites. Well worth the short walk on Campus to check this place out.Mecca for rockhounds.

If you are interested in rocks, minerals and/or fossils at all you need to visit the Seaman Mineral Museum. This was the best collection I have seen outside of the Smithsonian. They really showcase local specimens which was great for someone, like me, not familiar with Michigan geology.

Visit this museum on a Tuesday -it's free every Tuesday. It is not large, only one floor, but the exhibits are beautifully designed, lighting is good. Some of the text is good, but some of it is so technical that having a couple of live, on-the-floor interpreters to answer questions and interact with visitors would have made this a more meaningful experience. Some things were hard to understand. This would not be a good museum for young children. The displays are high up and technical. However, it is a beautiful destination for anyone who has some knowledge or previous interest in mineralogy. Older children would be interested. I found the archeological component particularly interesting - proofs of prehistoric copper mining and tool creation. Very interesting. I also thought that some of the samples would have made fantastic jewellery, and would advise the gift shop to have a least one retail case of more artistic handmade jewellery - command a high price ($200 to $400) for the most extraordinary pieces). Instead the gift shop is almost all souvenir quality. Some of the books were interesting. Don't underestimate yourselves, Mineral Museum. You have a lot of yachtsmen drifting through Houghton - promote your high end items in that demographic.

A must stop while in Houghton. Much more interesting than you would expect. Great gift shop. Friendly staff.

You don't have to be a rock hound to be astounded by this museum. Super cool for all ages. The teenagers were most jazzed by the luminescence room. If you are in the area do not miss this. It is free on Tuesdays.

I read the reviews about it and I have to say I agree!!!This museum is truly amazing Great size, large amount of minerals they even have a glow in the dark room !!The pieces are spectacular each of them is a piece of art!!!It makes me really dad to know that many people on this area have not been there and that the museum does not host activities inside to promote themselves !!!Hope you enjoy the museum as much as we did

The Seaman Mineral Museum is really fantastic. It houses one of the world's best and largest collections of minerals. Many exotic minerals and gems. We always take visitors to the area there, and they are always impressed. It's definitely a highlight of the area. Nice gift shop.

The displays are in a nice environment and easy to view. Many different specimens are here from all over the world. Good little gift shop too.
