Bisbee exhibit at UA Mineral Museum


A special exhibit, “Treasures of the Queen: The Amazing Minerals and Mystery of Bisbee, Arizona,” will run through May 31 at the UA Mineral Museum in Tucson.


According to the Sierra Vista Herald, the exhibit will include "extraordinary minerals from the 1893 Chicago World Fair, minerals from private collections that have never been on public display and other artifacts and period clothing that will trace Bisbee’s rich history and pivotal role in Arizona’s journey to
statehood."   [photo credit, UA Mineral Museum]
