The most complete private collection of minerals to admire the hidden treasures of the Dolomites up close.

They have beautiful colours and sparkle in the sun like diamonds: the mountains of the Fassa Valley conceal a precious deposit of minerals and fossils. It was the research of these, in the volcanic areas of the Dolomites, by Tone Rizzi Poldin, that led to the birth of the Monzoni Mineralogic Museum. The exhibition offers the chance to admire over 200 varieties of minerals - including quartz, agate, monzonite, fassaite and cornelian - in a charming renovated hay barn.
