Mineralogical Museum named after A.V. Sidorov

The museum presents an amazing world of minerals and gems from different parts of the world. The fund has about 30,000 unique copies. Some minerals can not only be seen, but also touched. There are samples that are unique in the place of discovery: limestone from the top of Mount Everest, granite pebbles from the bottom of Lake Baikal (410 meters), a core from the Kola deep well and even a fragment of the Berlin Wall.

The museum began its work in 1930 and continues to replenish its collections. The last minerals were brought from Kamchatka and the coast of the Arctic. It is hard to believe that the upper class of design, striking in skilled man-made products, is a generous and laid-back application to the gift of spatial composition and the exquisite taste of nature.
