The Earth and Mineral Science Museum & Art Gallery exhibition spaces are within a college building and open onto a wide, heavily trafficked corridor.

It can be read from a distance and seen when even when the museum is closed. -- Julianne Snider Asst. Director Earth and Mineral Sciences Museum & Art Gallery 116 Deike Bldg.
