\n\t\t\t\tOne collection, two centuries of history\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

For over 200 years, preserved within the elegant setting of the H\u00f4tel de Vend\u00f4me, the mineralogical collections of Mines Paris – PSL have been among the most comprehensive and spectacular in the world. They contain over 100,000 specimens, 5,000 of which are displayed in showcases, representing approximately 2,900 mineral species!<\/p>\n

While it takes only a few seconds to be struck by the beauty and diversity of these mineral treasures, decades of study have been required to understand their true nature. This museum is not merely a repository of species and a showcase of the richness of the mineral world; it is also a center for research.<\/p>\n
