Event Description
Our newest exhibit is going to dazzle your socks off. GOLD explores the splendor of the world’s most valued mineral. Throughout history people have been fascinated by gold as a symbol of wealth, power and beauty. Now you can see why.
Follow gold from the molten depths of the Earth to glittering examples of jewelry and artifacts, from gold rushes that shaped the world to the modern pop culture baubles that mesmerize us today. You can experience firsthand the attraction of the finest gold specimens on Earth and learn how gold has been located, mined, processed and turned into objects both beautiful and useful.
The treasures on display include examples of the first gold coins minted in ancient Lydia and Ionia (now Turkey), gleaming pre-Columbian jewelry, rare doubloons retrieved from sunken Spanish galleons and gold bars.
This is a MUST SEE!
