TEMPORARY EXHIBITS
The Weis hosts numerous temporary exhibits and displays throughout the year. We currently have special cases devoted to mineral spheres from around the world, trilobite fossils from Morocco, a new fluorite collection from classic Illinois localities, and samplings from other newly acquired mineral collections.
LOVE THE LEDGE! This mini-exhibit highlights the geology and history of the Niagara Escarpment. It includes a game to see if you can match photos of the ledge to their location.
