One of New York's greatest treasures, the Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals are now open, and the response has been overwhelming. Read on to discover what the press has been saying, and see it for yourself this summer!   Plan Your Visit   “Everywhere in this redesigned gallery are reminders of the importance of both scale and time, and reminders that the living and the nonliving—life and rocks…are actually deeply and profoundly connected.” – The New York Times       “The Hall of Minerals is organized for wonder. Wandering through it, you’re stopped by the almost kryptonite glow of each of the specimens.” – Town and Country       “If you love things that sparkle with all the colors of the rainbow, glow in the dark, and seem to defy any definition of the term rock, you’ve got to visit the new Halls of Gems and Minerals at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.” – Gizmodo     Plan Your Visit     Plus, Don’t Miss Beautiful Creatures On view in the Melissa and Keith Meister Gallery in the Mignone Halls of Gems and Minerals, Beautiful Creatures showcases exquisite historic and contemporary jewelry inspired by the animal kingdom.
