The Museo Geominero presents 'DETRÁS DE LAS VITRINAS - Fondos del Museo Geominero,' a temporary exhibition highlighting items from its 'wardrobe.' While the museum displays a significant portion of its geological collections, the majority of its natural treasures remain behind the scenes, inaccessible to the general public. This exhibition draws from these hidden collections, formed throughout the institution's history, often due to a lack of display space for historically, scientifically, or aesthetically significant specimens. The exhibition features a carefully curated selection of minerals and fossils from the museum's archives, offering visitors a unique chance to observe items that have never been put on public display until now.
