In the small but interesting mineral museum in San Giovanni in the Valle Aurina visitors can discover the minerals of the surrounding mountains. The Mineral Museum Kirchler houses a rich mineral collection by Artur Kirchler, a collector from the Valle Aurina who collected 950 minerals in the Zillertal Alps and in the Alti Tauri during the last decades.
The exhibition itinerary stretching over an area of 300 sq m displays the biggest smoked quartz rocks of South Tyrol. Furthermore, you can also admire an authentic reconstruction of the crevices of the mine of Predoi. In the multimedia room of the Mineral Museum Kirchler you can discover interesting details on the formation, collection and healing properties of some minerals.
