Stone carvings have been made around the world for centuries. From China to Germany to Brazil, carvers in each area bring their own approach to the artform based on their cultural traditions and the materials and tools available to them. In The Influence of Culture, Craft and Substance in Stone Carvings, visitors will explore how a carver’s background impacts their creations through the items on view from the University’s collection.

In addition, visitors can browse the Mineralogical Museum’s permanent collection, with approximately 350 mineral specimens on display.

The exhibition is on view February 6 - May 16, 2024, in the Mineralogical Museum in Penny Hall. The Mineralogical Museum is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is free.
