Public Afternoons at the Hutchinson Suite

The Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite has a public afternoon at the suite once a month. The next public afternoon is:

Minerals Advancing Humanity!

Saturday, January 25th 2025 from 11am-3pm

On Saturday, January 25th from 11am-3pm, the Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite at 深夜福利站 (North Campus Building room 120) will be hosting a public event – Minerals Advancing Humanity! Explore how minerals have played a pivotal role in advancing our civilization. Learn about minerals and rocks used for early tools and how they continue to help us make advancements in the modern world.

We will be displaying minerals and rocks from our collections alongside early tools on loan from 深夜福利站’s Anthropology Department!

We will have activities for children recommended ages 6 and up. As always, this public afternoon at the Richard W. Hutchinson Geoscience Collaborative Suite will also include beautiful exhibitions of rocks, minerals, fossils and meteorites from around the world. We look forward to your visit!
