A couple of years back, I traveled to Germany to visit a friend and he took me to see a museum close by. It was Terra Mineralia in Freiberg, the city he lived in. This place is currently closed due to covid but it's said to contain over 80,000 exhibits. That's an impressive amount.
From what I understand, it is a private collection that spanned decades of work by a Dr. ERIKA
POHL-STRÖHER.
On the official website, I found out that it says that she collected these minerals over a period of 60 years and that they are arranged according to different geographical regions. It's interesting to note that this possible hobby of hers was not intentional in the sense that she did not purposely try to collect from different continents but in the end, that was actually what she succeeded in doing.
In the link I have shared, it says
'Her main interest was in collecting crystals which were beautifully shaped and diverse in colour, rather than impressively large. She therefore paid great attention to aesthetic formations, which has resulted in a collection of great beauty.'
Here are some pictures of me taken by 
I liked how everything in the photo have symmetry and form. Circular dishes if I'm allowed to call them that were placed with similar looking things which made it easy for my eyes to focus on.
It really looks like something from a Sci fi movie. Everything feels so metallic.
I like how the picture below was taken because of the light source. I appears to be hazy even though I don't recall this light source at the time, so I suppose it came from the flash of the camera.
My favorite mineral here is the purple one at the bottom left column and the brown one directly above it. It looked like some shell for a creature to live it. The entire thing looks like something lady gaga would love to wear.
And here I was just pointing and welcoming imaginary visitors to whag I imagine was my private musuem and exhibition.
I like my curly hair here and the pose is an interesting one in my opinion.
Outside the musuem to prove I was really here lol.
The musuem I found out was open from Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
I had planned to buy some souvenirs the next time but the next time never came and with covid, it looks like this place will be shut for a long time. Some of them you can already see hanging in the photo with the mirror. They were stones and jewellery which I like. I'm not a fan of this particular type of jeweerly but I was hoping to get some stones that had been left in their original form.
Cheers🥂
