Tampere Mineral Museum Celebrates Its Tenth Anniversary at Vapriikki!
In honor of this milestone, Vapriikki’s first-floor exhibition space will host the themed exhibition “The Power of the Stone” in April, catering to all stone enthusiasts. The exhibition splendidly showcases the fascinating world of rocks and minerals, featuring hundreds of geological treasures from all around our planet—and even a bit from outer space.
The Mineral Museum’s collection is Finland’s largest, most impressive, and most colorful privately curated collection. In this new exhibition, you’ll find all the gems from Vapriikki’s rock collections, including the most extraordinary stones. These range from Finland’s largest petrified wood fossils and amethyst geodes to authentic diamonds and other precious gems—sapphires, emeralds, obsidian, tiger’s eye, and soft okenite, as well as toxic crocoite. Many of these specimens have never been displayed at Vapriikki before.
