About this Event
In this seminar, Gene Meieran will explore the significance of museums, particularly through his journey, which highlights how a museum’s influence can go far beyond simply showcasing artifacts or exhibits.
"Museums always influenced me, from the earliest days of collecting to my involvement in both the AZ Mineral Museum (now the Alfie Norville Gem and Mineral Museum), and the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals.
"Fascination in the beauty, the amazement at the naturally occurring shapes, the amazing variety, led me into a professional life devoted to studying how this happened (and the benefits to our lives through exploitation of their widely divergent physical, chemical, and electrical properties)."
