In july I was at Mineralogy Museum Prof. Djalma Guimarães located in "Praça da Liberdade" in Belo Horizonte. This museum, known as Queen of Scrap Iron. It has been the most controversial and polemic building in the city. This is in itself an interesting tourist attraction. Inside, there is an extensive collection of almost three thousand pieces. Around 800 of these are on display, picturing the importance of mining in Minas Gerais. I liked a lot because I study mining engeering and is very important to learn many things aobut minerals and rocks.
The museum has several copies known as diamonds, topaz, aquamarines and other rare minerals, along quartzite, slate, metal sheets and other industrial mineral sub-products are displayed in pedestals.
If you like that things or study about minerals I recommend to visit the Mineralogy Museum.
That´s all. Bye, bye.

That's sort of a funny thing isn't it? I mean, these "industrial mineral sub-products" "displayed in pedestals" almost like in state of art... I think the place is worth seeing for its idiosyncrasy, its outstanding kind of "oddness" even if you don't study mineralogy or the sort...
