    Great collection of minerals and crystals. People there are very knowledgeable and know what they are talking about. There is also an association associated with the museum that is also involved in the same thing and has a good reputation within Europe. The Academy also offers high-quality training. Overall it is definitely worth a visit!

    Small but quite ok museum. There is always someone during opening hours to provide some explanation. Various minerals are for sale. The premises are home to the mineral club Acam and, in addition to the museum, also include a workshop in the basement for formatting minerals, a lab for identification and a room for meetings and presentations.

    In addition to the permanent collection, you can currently admire an exhibition about amethyst at Acam. Every Saturday afternoon you can visit the academy.

    What treasures are hidden there. You don't have enough eyes to see everything, so multiple visits are recommended 😉
