In San Giovanni in the Valle Aurina there is a very interesting museum that exhibits many minerals of the surrounding mountains on a surface of 300 m². It hosts the discoveries of the passionate collector Artur Kirchler, who found more than 950 rocks in the area of the Zillertal Alps and the High Tauern.
The biggest smoky quartz rocks of South Tyrol and a very rare crystal found in the mine of Predoi are the highlights of the museum. Moreover, in the multimedia room of the Mineral Museum Kirchler you can learn a lot about how minerals form and on how they are searched and found as well as about their therapeutical benefits.
