“handsome, classy, suitable!”

Let's be crystal-clear: the new Seaman Mineral Museum is handsome, classy, and suitable—a fortune that houses a fortune. The building, on Sharon Ave., was dedicated Thursday. A hundred people gathered on a hot afternoon, across from the ATDC, and attested to a milestone more than a century in the making: a permanent home for the official Mineral Museum of Michigan. The gift shop and two of a planned 14 galleries opened on July 5; already the museum is on pace to double the number of people who visit a year. The reason: instead of being tucked away in the EERC, it's now prominent and accessible, with convenient parking.

Incredible selection of rocks and minerals. Even if you're not into geology, this place is intriguing. The fluorescent mineral display in the dark room is pretty neat too. Also, It's free to Michigan Tech students. So if that's you, you're in luck!
