Minero on Safari

Animals and minerals come together in this unique exhibition, where you will discover the multitude of unusual connections that unite these two fascinating worlds.

Animals and minerals come together in this unique exhibition, which reveals the multitude of unusual links that unite these two fascinating worlds. From the striking resemblance between hematite and toad skin to elephants spraying themselves with limestone to protect themselves from the sun, the link between the animal kingdom and the mineral kingdom is inseparable. The exhibition explores this little-known subject through four areas presenting more than 150 specimens from the living and mineral worlds.
