VMNH Education Manager Christy Deatherage is inside the Lee and George W. Lester, II How Nature Works gallery this week to highlight the exhibit's mineral display, which features a large variety of specimens, including quartz, fluorite and pyrite (aka "fool's gold")!
ABOUT MUSEUM MINUTE The Virginia Museum of Natural History has a spectacular assortment of displays within its exhibit galleries! Some displays are unforgettable, while others don't always get the attention they deserve. Through the original series "Museum Minute", museum educators highlight various displays throughout the exhibit galleries, while providing intriguing facts you may not have known. "Museum Minute" is made possible thanks to VMNH Corporate Partners Carter Bank & Trust (www.cbtcares.com) and Boxley Materials Company (www.boxley.com).
