Department of Mineralogy

Our museum has the largest and most complete collection of minerals in Hungary. Our main goal is to popularize mineralogy, to collect the minerals of Hungary as completely as possible, to process the Hungarian mineral deposits scientifically and to make the results available to the general public. In addition, we pay attention to the collection of minerals in the Carpathians surrounding our country.

Mineral collection

As a result of the systematic and dynamic collection development work of the last four decades, by the end of 2019, the number of items inventoried in the mineral collection is approaching 22.000, which means approximately 50.000 specimens. The collection is divided into three sub-units, the most significant part of which is the “Minerals of Hungary”.
