Collaborative Project with Landscape Architecture

Wooden drawers from our museum transformed into a public art sculpture.

We have been making great strides in improving the state of our extensive rock and mineral collections and, as always, we are always looking for collaborative projects with other departments.

Recently, we were able to give Associate Professor Cory Gallo from Landscape Architecture the materials he needed to create a beautiful public art sculpture! These wooden drawers were no longer needed for our collection and we were happy that they found a good home.
