The old Mineral Museum (located at Flandrau Planetarium) is now closed. The new facility at the Historic Pima County Courthouse, is also currently NOT open at this time. We are working with Pima County and the University of Arizona to go through the correct protocols to safely open to the public. We will update all platforms when we are able to open. Thank you.
