Take a world class museum with a world class collection, provide for a new building and the opportunity to showcase these collections in a way never dreamed of, and you have the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum. On the Mission and Vision webpage of the museum website, link below, they say the following: "The museum will preserve, develop, exhibit and interpret its collection to educate people about minerals, mining, and the relevance of mineral to society."
Not fully opened until 2012, the museum is a place where visitors can learn about the minerals of the Upper Peninsula and develop an understanding of the why and where of many historical sites found throughout the region.
