Houston Museum of Natural Science
The Houston Museum of Natural Science is a wonderfully rich environment organized to "enhance in individuals the knowledge and delight in natural science and related subjects."
Masterpieces of the Mineral World: Treasures from the Houston Museum of Natural ScienceThis book presents highlights from the museum’s vast collection of mineral specimens—the largest of its kind in the world. Through large-scale reproductions and a spare presentation, the design of the catalogue serves to present the collection as works of sculpture rather than specimens of science. Unique to this type of publication is an introductory guide to the aesthetic qualities that make a mineral collectible.
