Please Note: While public sales of the First Edition ended several years ago, we kept a limited number of original units on reserve as replacements for customers. These reserve units are now available for purchase at current market prices.
Mini Museum - First Edition (TOUCH - 35 Specimens)
The First Edition of the Mini Museum was the fulfillment of a life-long dream to share a collection encompassing billions of years of science and history with people around the world. Over 5000 people in 68 countries helped make this project possible!
"Questions of what we are, who we are, and how we came to be are just as important as where we are going. In truth, we are here together, but for each of us, life is an individual course. If we really take the time to look, we can discover that each person has an amazing story that's just as rich and deep as the universe itself."

SCIENCE & HISTORY YOU CAN FEEL!
TOUCH EDITION
The TOUCH is a special version of the Mini Museum which comes in a classic, glass-topped riker display case. The specimens can be removed from their individual acrylic jars for careful study.
Please Note: We say "careful study" here because many of the specimens are quite delicate!
In addition to these incredible specimens, the 33 Specimen First Edition Mini Museum (MM1) also includes:
- Certificate of Authenticity
- Individual Numbering
Note: The First Edition Companion Guide is no longer available. It was an additional item for First Edition backers. We recommend pairing this item with Relics: A History of the World in 133 Objects.
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.
