Rene Boissevain is a man with a passion. He has spent a lifetime travelling to every corner or the world to collect crystallised mineral specimens, gemstones, fossils and rocks. He searches only for the best - the most perfect, the most extraordinary, the most valuable, the rarest and the biggest!
To house his growing collection of more than 600 individual crystals, Rene has built 250ms of tunnels and grottos for you to explore. Visitors are given a miners helmet and a catalogue to identify specimens and explore the caves unguided, this gives you the feeling of discovering these natural formations yourself. Carefully positioned and delicately lit, you are free to take your time and encouraged to touch and photograph the crystals.
Open your mind and put all expectations aside - this is not your average museum!
