Wonderful
So much to explore on 4 levels. The Staff is very experienced and can give lots of information. The entry fee is very low for what you get and students pay even less. We will come back! You can also buy gemstones and souvenirs for a very good price. You learn so much and can spend easily many hours in there. A toilet is also available there.

Well worth an hour or two
Especially for the price, a really interesting way to spend some time. Several floors of gemstones and things made from them, from the area and around the world. Favorites were the luminescent stones, and the reproductions of some of Europe's crown jewels made from semi-precious stones. Many of the sculptures and other artifacts are nearly belief in their complexity and ornateness, and some are charmingly significantly less so. Great use of an hour or two of your day.

Fascinating show of gemstones
This museum has a fabulous display of all sorts of gemstones, with a story about them. If you enjoy minerals, gems,... this is a wonderful place to go to see some of the grandest examples!!!
