German Mineral Museum
Description
One of the smallest cameos in the world, a crystal hall that is unique in Germany and an impressive collection of replicas of historical diamonds: These are just some of the highlights of the German Mineral Museum. Housed in a Wilhelminian-style building, the museum boasts one of the most extensive collections of gemstones and minerals in the region. In 24 rooms on four floors, the exhibits collected over the course of more than 80 years are waiting to give visitors an insight into the fascinating world of minerals and gemstones as well as the history of Idar-Oberstein.
