This is our second post on the special exhibits of "Minerals of Western Europe." Altogether, I counted 36 cases that fit within the show theme. However, there were other exhibits not counted here related to theme, such as "Minerals of New Spain" (i.e. Mexico), and "Minerals of Russia." These will be included in our post on the non-themed exhibit pages. I also took plenty of photos of individual minerals within the showcases, and these will have a separate news article.
