Secrets from the Earth
Exhibitions
Last updated date : 13/02/2024
Venture deep into the Earth’s foundations and discover the wonder of the mineral wealth that our planet harbours.
Between the history of civilisations and that, as old as time itself, of mineral formation, the exhibition delves into the physical and chemical properties of minerals and their uses through the centuries, since prehistoric times.
There is much at stake in light of the scarcity of such resources today. New discoveries could help shape a future that is more respectful of the environment and of living creatures as a whole – but the challenge that lies ahead is a daunting one.
