Description of the project
The MIM Museum is a privately owned museum located in Beirut, Lebanon. Its collection is one of the biggest and most diverse in the World, with more than 1500 minerals from 300 different species. Starting in 2011, our team worked hand in hand with the director and the curator of the museum on designing the exhibition, the preventive conservation of the minerals and the fabrication of the mounts. Every mineral has been mounted by our team, from the smallest one to the biggest one. Still today, we work with the MIM, and recently produced a temporary exhibition with them, « Fish & Stone ».
