The Museum gratefully acknowledges
Allison and Roberto Mignone for
their leadership support of the redesigned
Halls of Gems and Minerals.
Generous support has been provided by
Melissa and Keith Meister, the Arthur Ross
Foundation, and Kenneth C. Griffin.
Additional support has been provided
by the John & Amy Griffin Foundation and
the City of New York.
A treasure returns to New York City.
Opening in Winter 2021, these
reimagined hallswill offer
a brilliant showcase for one of the
world’s most important collections
of gems and minerals.
Remarkable new specimens
and familiar treasures—including
two spectacular amethyst geodes
that are among the world’s largest
on public display, the legendary
563-carat Star of India sapphire,
and the 632-carat Patricia Emerald—
will reveal the extraordinary
diversity and beauty of gems and
minerals that are found on our
dynamic planet.
