Many important museums exhibit at the The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show®. They often select minerals from their collection relating to the show theme, and put together exceptional cases of these mineral in a traveling exhibit. Museums such as the Smithsonian Institution, American Museum of Natural History, and the Royal Ontario Museum are among the list of prestigious museums exhibiting at this show. This is the first of two posts on the museum display cases at the 2018 Tucson Gem and Mineral Show®. We will also create a separate post of some of the individual minerals in the exhibits in a later posting.
