Mini Museum - Second Edition (SMALL - 10 Specimens)
Beginning with a trip to the Asteroid Belt, the Second Edition collection spans billions of years of history!
"Intellectual curiosity is so insatiable that nothing will discourage it, but in most its edge is easily dulled and blunted. Bacon's saying that we must become as little children in order to enter the kingdom of science is at once a reminder of the open-minded and flexible wonder of childhood and of the ease with which this endowment is lost." ~ John Dewey, How We Think (1910)
Second Edition (Small)
10 Specimens!
The 10 Specimen (SMALL) Second Edition of the Mini Museum measures approximately 4" tall x 3" wide x 1" thick and contains 10 different specimens:

You can read more about each of these amazing items on our special page for the Second Editon collection.
In addition to these incredible specimens, the 10 Specimen Second Edition Mini Museum (MM2) also includes:
- Detailed, 140-page Companion Guide Book
- Custom Microfiber Pouch
- Display and Storage Box
- Certificate of Authenticity
The production run for the 10 specimen version is limited to just 1971 pieces. The number was selected to commemorate the flight of Apollo 14, which is represented by the Moon Tree specimen.
Above: Large or Small, your Mini Museum will arrive in a handsome Display Box. Inside the box, your Mini Museum will be protected by a Custom Micro-Fiber Pouch. You will also find a Certificate of Authenticity, and a 140-page hardbound book which we call the Companion Guide.
The Mini Museum is a handcrafted, limited edition collectible. The unique specimens are artfully arranged and clearly labeled. The entire collection is encased in Lucite acrylic and designed to inspire for generations.
Please Note: The Mini Museum is a hand made product and the production process lends itself to small variations. All Mini Museums are sold "as-is" and by purchasing a Mini Museum, you acknowledge that such variations can occur. Such variations highlight the artisanal nature of the project, as each Mini Museum is made by hand and absolutely unique.
