Mini Museum - Second Edition (TOUCH - 26 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)

The Mini Museum is a handcrafted, limited edition collectible. The unique specimens are artfully arranged and clearly labeled. The entire collection is 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.
