The minerals in this exhibition represent a small part of our Mineralogy collection
It currently includes items rescued from the 2018 fire and some recently acquired minerals. With the support of institutions and donors from Brazil and around the world, we are recomposing this very significant collection, formed over the 204 years that the National Museum/UFRJ has been in existence.
Come and explore a portion of the new mineral collection at the National Museum, consisting of items acquired, collected, or received through donations after the 2018 fire. In this video, we invite you to understand some of the fascinating characteristics of these minerals. You will also discover how they can be a part of our everyday lives!
Discover some intriguing facts about the "Werner Collection," acquired in the 18th century, one of the oldest in the National Museum. Learn about the consequences of the 2018 fire for this and other mineralogy collections. Know that not everything was lost! A significant portion of the pieces was rescued, but did they undergo any noticeable alterations?
