Frontiers
Lecture: Volcanic Worlds
Why is Venus not Earth’s twin? Tomorrow at 7
pm ET, join planetary geologist Paul Byrne to

COMING SOON
Mignone
Halls of Gems and Minerals
Do you remember the Museum’s giant
glittering amethyst geode? Now there are two of them—in
the new Allison and Roberto Mignone Halls of Gems and
Minerals, which open June 12! The second geode, which
stands 9 feet tall and weighs around 12,000 pounds (5,440
kg), will be on view at the entrance to the redesigned
halls, which showcase one of the world’s most important
collections of gems and minerals.
