Special Exhibition 2025: Earth's Treasures

For thousands of years, the development of human civilizations has been based on the use of natural resources. Europe is characterized by a remarkable variety of geological treasures - from economically important raw materials to aesthetically impressive minerals and stones. This year's joint exhibition is dedicated to the hidden riches of the continent with its special geological and mineralogical wealth. From the tectonically very active zones of southern Europe to the crystalline rocks of the north, from the Iberian Peninsula to the Black Sea.

The diversity of Europe's industrially relevant ores, minerals and rocks is presented using the most important sites and active mining areas as examples. At the same time, visitors also learn about the uniqueness of our nature, which, for all its diversity, only allows wonderful crystals and collectable minerals to form over millions of years under the most ideal conditions.

You can look forward to a varied, informative and exciting exhibition with specimens from all over Europe.
