Mineral Museum

Superb mineral museum and the curator is a gem too. The layout is perfect with lots of useful detail added without being overwhelming. I’ve been to mineral exhibits around the world where they are mostly endless displays of every known mineral but with very little useful context. This exhibit is centered on Montana but shows how Montana geology is linked nearby as well as terrestrially.nnI particularly liked the display on mineral characteristics with examples for each.

A very interesting and informative place to visit. A great museum.

ITS FREE. the school has a huge collection of minerals and an exhibit focus on tectonics and earthquakes. And its free. Itts great. I used to go all the time

A great place to check out the history of mining in Butte Montana. It's a step back in time. Make sure you go visit the Granite Mountain Memorial. Has a great or review of the working mine and a good history lesson of the danger & tragedies that befall the miners.

Wonderful mineral museum!
