Mineral museum of Rio Marin
The Mineral Park in Rio Marina is located
in the old town and it covers about 600 square meters inside the
Palazzo del Burò. The museum is home to one of
the most important and beautiful minerals collections on Elba
island, including samples of unique value. Beside the minerals
themselves, in the museum you will be able to see different
mining environments, accurately recreated by
industrial archeology specialists who used the original material
found in the old construction sites.
The exposition includes old tools and some pictures which tell
the mining activity and a piece of tunnel, rebuilt
accurately.
After the tour in the Museum, you will continue your mining
experience on board on the typical train which
will lead you the the open-air mine, where you
will have the chance to dig in the pyrite and hematite, and
hopefully you will add some important sample to your collection.
